Where are Samba log files

[mikebk]

I'm having problems connecting to a samba share on my asus rt-ac66r from a Kodak all-in-1 printer (as described in http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/sh...ad.php?t=10221).

Where should I look for samba logs? I've set the log level to 3 based on information on the samba.org website. Am I increasing the log level appropriately?

Thanks

Mike

Logging is in Syslog: /tmp/syslog.log

Logging is in Syslog: /tmp/syslog.log

That seems to be the source of the log shown in the GUI. It doesn't show any Samba logs when I try to connect to the share. Would you expect some with loglevel set to 3? Troubleshooting info on Samba.org show pages of output at loglevel 3.

This might be a result of something in the syslog configuration. I couldn't find the syslogd.conf files on the router. Where is it?

Thanks

There's no syslog config file. Everything is configured in the command line (this is Busybox's syslogd, not a full-featured syslog daemon)

You should be able to change the logging location of Samba to other files I suppose - I never look at it myself so I'm not entirely sure how Samba handles logging. I know that Samba does log some things to syslog, such as when it becomes a local master browser.
