That doesn't really help.

I'm using CentOS 5.2 and the Samba that comes with... 3.0.28  There's a
/var/log/samba/ which contains an smbd.log and an nmbd.log  Some stuff
is logged to them... other stuff is not.  The fact that those files
exist strongly suggests that all Samba-related logs are intended to go
to those files.  "Using Samba" is a five-year old book, and it's
reference to syslog is to do:

daemon.*        /var/log/daemon.log

which is using a very heavy, very blunt instrument that doesn't really
do what it looks like newer OSes and versions of Samba ought to be able
to do.
