The Default logging directory for Samba is something like "/user/local/samba/var/log" since samba is not getting installed to its default locations this directory has not been created. I am unsure if this is an ebuild problem (IE. We need to pass a log path to the build process or something else). Peter.
#syslog only = yes syslog = 0 log level = 2 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m # in KB.. max log size = 1024 ---- please look at the above smb.conf parameters. this tells samba to NOT use syslog logging, and instead use its own logfiles. i do NOT have problems with samba and logging, so this 'bug' is INVALID.
