Ok, I have set log level to 10, but still don't see ip's. Are there 
additional loggins options that I don't know about..?

That would be super. Right there ON the dc's is THE place to keep this 
info, rather than having to configure each and every client to log 
failed attempts to whatever central location.

But how difficult/much work would it be to just add something to samba 
to log at least the coming-from ip address?

(your solution sounds perfect, but a major undertaking. A quick 
improvement could be to at least log the coming-from ip address in the 
DC log)
