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.

Wait, wait, wait... you're telling me the log file name has to be unique for each machine? What is this, the Stone Age? I thought we were living in the 21st century, where we have things like 'big data' and 'analytics'!

Option C? Are you kidding me? The %r variable is for the remote machine name, not the local machine. That's just plain wrong.

Option E? Really? Who would use the %c variable for the log file name? That's just asking for chaos and confusion.

Hmm, I'd go with Option D. The %I variable is for the IP address, and that's gotta be unique for each machine, right? Makes sense to me.

I'm not sure, but I think Option A might be the right choice. It mentions %m which could stand for machine.

I think Option D is correct too. Each machine will have a unique IP address.

I'm pretty sure it's Option B. The %M variable stands for the IP address of the client, which seems like a logical choice for the log file name.

I believe it's Option D. The %I variable stands for the IP address of the client, which would be more appropriate for the log file name.

I think it's actually Option A. The %m variable represents the NetBIOS name of the client machine.

I think B) log file = /var/log/samba/log.%M is the correct answer because %M represents the NetBIOS name

Option A is the correct answer. The %m variable represents the NetBIOS name of the client machine, which is perfect for generating individual log files.

That makes sense, using the NetBIOS name for individual log files is a good idea.
