======Samba Information====== | |||
OpenWRT Samba is configured to look for the ''lmhosts'' file (all lower case) here: /etc/samba/lmhosts (it was verified by looking in the log files for where it loads the file) | |||
To configure logging, add the following directives (minus comments) to the /etc/samba/smb.conf file in the [glolbal] section;<syntaxhighlight lang="text"> | |||
# The below is the default location | |||
log file = /tmp/log/samba/samba.log | |||
log level = 3 | |||
# Per log file, the below has been deprecated | |||
# syslog = 1 | |||
</syntaxhighlight>Information from above was referenced from here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configuring_Logging_on_a_Samba_Server | |||
====== Top Tips ====== | |||
Do NOT set the log level higher than 3 or it will just fill up with gibberish | |||
Do NOT attempt to read the log file via a text editor through a Samba shared directory, or the log file will fill with recursive gibberish (IE, use ''nano'' or ''vi)'' | |||
== | Best to not use these directives; client min protocol = SMB2, client max protocol = SMB3 (If SMB1 or SMB2 are needed, switch to Samba 3) | ||
When configuring the Hostname in the LuCI GUI, System, System, General Settings Tab, use ONLY the host name, not the "fully qualified host name" (IE use OpenWRT, do not use OpenWRT.WhatEverDomain.WhatEverComOrLocalOrLanEtc) | |||
