On my FreeBSD machine, the log is located at /var/log/messages:

Does NSSWITCH follow symlinks?

Side note: Following a post in which a poster complained that when upgrading
Samba, his libraries weren't updated correctly so he has since then decided
to manually copy his libraries from the source directory to the library
path, I decided to do likewise. thus you are seeing files ending in .so as
source and links made to these source files. Perhaps that may have something
to do with the problems I am having with?
