Hello,

how can i enable the SMB-Log on NAS540/542?
I have tried to edit the smb.conf under /etc/samba/ and add follow lines:
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 10000
log level = 2 smb:4
With a restart from the NAS the smbd should now log the accesses from the Clients but the changes in smb.conf are undone. 

With friendy Greets from Germany.

    Maybe you can use the Samba tweak in Tweaks

    Hi Alex M,

    what's the default password for Samba account?
    It depends on which user account you used, the password is the same as that account's setting.

    Mijzelf, is there any syslog-ng tweaks? Cause any reboot sets to default syslog-ng.conf.

    No. But if you have a script which does the necessary adjustments, and you have RandomTools installed, you can put that script in
    /i-data/sysvol/.PKG/RandomTools/etc/custom_startscripts/
    to get it executed on boot.

    OK. I'll try. Thank you!

    And there is one problem at NAS542. After rebooting NAS smbd starts without using "smb.conf.Tweaks" config file. Process is "/usr/sbin/smbd -D" for each user.

    I reinstall Tweaks via AppCenter (when installing it lags at 98%; need to press cancel, reboot NAS and install Tweaks again) and enable Samba tweaks. After that smbd starts with a process "/usr/sbin/smbd -D --configfile=/etc/samba/smb.conf.Tweaks".

    Is there any way to solve that problem?

    Looks like after reboot samba.sh from /i-data/sysvlo/.PKG/Tweaks/gui/Tweaks/plugins doesn't exec at startup

    The Samba tweak creates the file /etc/samba/smb.conf.Tweaks,  then patches /etc/init.d/samba.sh to add the configfile, and then calls '/etc/init.d/samba.sh restart', as you can read on line 108 of samba.sh. I don't see how that could fail (and it doesn't fail on my box)

    Looks like after reboot samba.sh from /i-data/sysvlo/.PKG/Tweaks/gui/Tweaks/plugins doesn't exec at startup
    Why do you think so? The script is sourced from /i-data/sysvol/.PKG/Tweaks/etc/init.d/Tweaks, starting at line 338. As you can see there is a log function, which can be activated by adding a line

    touch /tmp/${PKG_NAME}.log

    somewhere above 338. Does that give new insights?
