Hello,

     You should see in your samba log file an entry similar to this on 
wrong password attempts.

Auth: [Kerberos KDC,ENC-TS Pre-authentication] user 
[(null)]\[username at DOMAIN] at [Fri, 23 Mar 2018 14:06:07.272789 EDT] 
with [aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96] status [NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD] 
workstation [(null)] remote host [ipv4:172.16.26.11:53449] mapped to 
[DOMAIN]\[username]. local host [NULL]

You can see it provides the remote host IP user was on. It looks as if 
you are not using the correct parameter in your smb.conf. It should be

log level = 1 auth_audit:3 passdb:5 winbind:5
