 First, can I suggest you open a terminal and type 'man smb.conf' then
 read the output, particularly the part under 'log level', that will
 explain how you can set up logging better.

Now coming to your smb.conf, you have this line in 'global':

vfs objects = acl_xattr

Then this one (again in global):

vfs objects = full_audit

The second one replaces the first one, it does not add to it.
Or to put it another way, you are not using ACLs

You then have this line in cestino.conf (which is added to your
'condivisioni' share):

vfs objects = recycle acl_xattr

This turns on 'recycle' and 'acl_xattr' and turns off 'full_audit', but
only for that share.
