Mavericks SMB/SAMBA Log?

Hello, can anyone point me to the log file for SMB in mavericks server?

I know the afp log is located at "/Library/Logs/AppleFileService/AppleFileServiceError.log" but I can't track down the SMB log. As more and more users are bringing in mavericks machines, I'd like to be able to keep track of things like we did in AFP.

ie I'm looking for the SMB equivalent of

afp:loggingAttributes:logOpenFork = yes

afp:loggingAttributes:logDelete = yes

afp:loggingAttributes:logCreateDir = yes

afp:loggingAttributes:logLogin = yes

afp:loggingAttributes:logLogout = yes

afp:loggingAttributes:logCreateFile = yes

Thanks!

I believe the best you can do is enable the kernel debugging of the SMBD service. To do this, edit /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.smbd.plist and add:

<string>-debug</string>

<string>-stdout</string>

beneath the line <string>/usr/sbin/smbd</string> in the ProgramArguments section.

Reboot your server or stop and start the SMB service.

Thanks Strontium,

Could you please tell me where does that debug output logged? I don't see anything in the console.

Thanks

If I recall, it was in system.log. The process is reported as kernel, not smbd.
