In order to generate an individual log file for each of the machines connecting to a Samba server, which of the following statements must be used in the Samba configuration file?

Alog file = /var/log/samba/log.%m

Blog file = /var/log/samba/log.%M

Clog file = /var/log/samba/log.%r

Dlog file = /var/log/samba/log.%I

Elog file = /var/log/samba/log.%c

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Individual Log Files:

A . log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m: To generate an individual log file for each machine connecting to a Samba server, the %m variable is used in the log file path. This variable represents the machine name of the connecting client. Thus, the configuration line log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m creates a unique log file for each client machine.

Wait, is this a trick question? What if the answer is actually E. %c for the client machine name? I'm feeling lucky today!

D. %I for the machine's IP address? Nah, that's too easy. I'm going with C. %r for the remote machine name.

Hmm, I was leaning towards B. %M seems more logical since it's the machine's IP address.

I agree with User2, %M does seem more logical for individual machine log files.

I see your point, but I still believe B is the right choice for the machine's IP address.

I think A is the correct option, %m represents the machine name.

I think the correct answer is A. %m is the machine name, which makes sense for an individual log file per machine.

Yeah, %m represents the machine name, so it should generate individual log files for each machine.

I agree with Raymon. Using %m will generate individual log files for each machine connecting to the Samba server.

I think the answer is A) log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m because %m is used to represent the machine name.
