Ah ok, interesting, thanks for checking it out.  Yes I have the
full_audit module set up but it's a lot of text to grep through compared
to a nice point and click web interface :-)

Perhaps, if the author is not interested in updating it, I could just
add a MySQL option to the full_audit module if it's recording the same
data.  Might be worth doing that just to get it into the main Samba
distribution, because I'm sure there are other people who would find
logging to MySQL useful.

Cheers,
Adam.
