Hi,

Sorry, but I didn't undestand!

Reading a smb.conf manual, I understood that the dsdb event notification
isn't recommended to production server.

Is better to use auth_audit, auth_json_audit, auth or combination these ?

Do I need enable "vfs objects = full_audit"?

Do I need set a log file in syslog or is it automatic?

Sorry, but I got a lot doubts the system log Samba 4.

I found very limited examples on Google.

Could anybody show an example for me ?

Regards,

Márcio Bacci
