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?

Show Suggested Answer Hide 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 not sure, but I think B) log file = /var/log/samba/log.%M could also be a valid option

Ooh, this is a tricky one. I'm torn between A and B, but I think I'll go with A. The machine name just seems like the most reliable way to identify each client.

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 know right! I hope I get 'log.%m' for my log file.

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.

Actually, I believe D is the right choice. The %I variable represents the client's IP address, which would ensure unique log files for each machine.

I think A is the correct option. The %m variable represents the machine's NetBIOS name, which would be more suitable for individual 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.
