Hi list, I have home made program, which uses File Alteration Monitor library to watch samba log files for new file creation in samba share directory.
This technique works fine when I use GNU/Linux machine as client and it fails when I use Windows machine as client. The cause of failure is, samba server creates different pattern of logs and sometimes it does not create log entries on new file creation. New file creation is done by copying file to share directory after mounting it. Log configuration of samba server is log file = /var/log/samba/%U.log log level = 2 Below is log entries when GNU/Linux is used.
