The %S is only valid within a given service (share definition).
Log files are reopened at various times but mostly outside the
context of a specific share so the %S variable does not make sense
in this context.

[Samba] "%S" doesn't parse to share name.

[Francis Strickland]

Hi,
 
Our smb.conf specifies share level logging with:
log file = /var/log/samba/%S.log

This results in a log file named "%S.log".  I would expect something like
sharename.log. Can anyone explain this?  I have not been able to Google any
answers.

Samba 3.0.10-1.4e.2 as PDC on RedHat ELS4 with Windows XP2 clients

%m.log gives "machinename.log" as expected.
%m.%S.log gives "machinename.%S.log".
%s.log gives "%s.log"

Output from testparm is:
