Description Paul Menzel 2017-07-14 13:52:29 UTC 
Despite using the configuration below, the log files do not contain the host name.

```
[global]

   log file        = /var/samba4/cu/log/smbd-%M-%I.log
```

From the manual.

```
       %M
           the Internet name of the client machine.
```

(The last part of the IP address is obfuscated by me.)

```
$ ls /var/samba4/cu/log/smbd-141.14.x.x-141.14.x.x.log
/var/samba4/cu/log/smbd-141.14.x.x-141.14.x.x.log
```

Also `smbstatus` doesn’t show the hostname.

```
$ sudo smbstatus

Samba version 4.6.5
