Topic #: 3

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.

Haha, this question is a real head-scratcher! I'm just hoping I don't end up with a log file named 'log.%c' - that would be a real mess!

I'm going to go with D. The %I variable represents the client IP address, and that seems like a logical choice for identifying individual machines in the logs.

Hmm, I'm leaning towards B. The %M variable represents the machine's IP address, which could also work for generating unique log files.

I'm pretty sure it's A. The %m variable represents the machine name, which seems like the best way to generate individual log files.
