As noted above, you can set the debug level for Samba by setting the
debuglevel option in the [global] section of the
/etc/smb.conf file. Setting the level to 1 or
2 generates basic information; setting debuglevel=3
generates a lot of useful information. The information is written to
the file /var/log/log.smb (note also that there is a
/var/log/log.nmb file). Be warned, though, that with
debuglevel=3, the /var/log/log.smb file can grow
very quickly. If a Windows client machine gets in a loop trying to
make a connection, failing, and then retrying, you can fill your
/var partition very quickly.
smb.conf options (including security under
Samba) NOTE: If you are directly on the Internet, security is a
major concern, as sharing directories potentially opens them up to
the Internet world.
