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.

I'm pretty sure the answer is B. %M seems more logical for the machine's hostname.

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