Years ago Piotr Buliński posted patches implementing a "-L" option to prevent Samba to create hardcoded log files in /var/log/samba if compiled with syslog support. http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2009-May/064944.html http://piotr.bulinski.pl/freebsd-patch/net/samba33/files/ At the time, Volker Lendecke was positive about the patches. Unfortunately they got lost and weren't merged. Today Piotr found and reposted them on the same link. So I ask if it's possible to rebase, review and apply these patches. It's a small change, but it gives control back to the user that will be able to suppress the hardcoded log files creation.
