Public bug reported:
After upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04 samba logs no longer show up in
logwatch reports.
There was a change to /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logfiles/samba.conf
between 10.04 and 12.04:
LogFile=samba/* was changed to LogFile=samba/*.log
In the samba package the default smb.conf file has logging defined as (no
change 10.04-12.04):
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
Since files are log.* they are no longer parsed by logwatch because
logwatch only looks for *.log

3. Logwatch reports/emails should contain samba log information.
4. No samba log information shows up in logwatch reports/emails.
Possible fix is to distribute the attached samba.conf in
/usr/share/logwatch/dist.conf/logfiles/
It contains "LogFile=samba/*" which would revert logwatch's behavior to what it
was in 10.04 for samba logs.
This will allow any type of log file naming you wish in your samba config in
the /var/log/samba/ folder to be correctly parsed by logwatch.
