Samba share problem

Yep, I think you'll need to use journalctl to view log messages. There are ways to get the various daemons to still write to /var/log... but it needs some configuring and you'll probably need to install syslog

You're probably right but when I try using journalctl it lists no log entries.

Admittedly having no log files is stifling any attempts to diagnose.

There are none. This is the frustrating thing.

log file= /var/log/samba/log.%m
log level = 5

And nada. Nichts. Zip. Diddly.

try log level = 1 in smb.conf, restart Samba, use journalctl -u smbd (or possibly journalctl -u smbd.service)

[suityou01]

find . -name "smb.conf"

./etc/samba/conf
./usr/local/samba/etc/smb.conf

[darmstadt]

find . -name "smb.conf"

./etc/samba/conf
./usr/local/samba/etc/smb.conf

I suspect /etc/samba/samba.conf

I think darmie is suggesting that you originally said it was at log level 5, so try setting it to 1.

Oh. I see. Thanks.

Of course finding the correct file to set it in also helps.
