Description Marcos Mello 2013-06-17 16:13:32 UTC

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

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.
