Debug HA for Samba

How to turn on debug for HA for Samba

HA for Samba can be used by multiple Samba or winbind instances. It is possible to turn debug on for all Samba or winbind instances or a particular Samba or winbind instance.

A config file exists under /opt/SUNWscsmb/xxx/etc, where xxx refers to samba or winbind.

These files allow you to turn on debug for all Samba or winbind instances or for a specific Samba or winbind instance on a particular node with Oracle Solaris Cluster. If you require debug to be turned on for HA for Samba across the whole Oracle Solaris Cluster, repeat this step on all nodes within Oracle Solaris Cluster.

1. Edit /etc/syslog.conf and change daemon.notice to daemon.debug.

   # grep daemon /etc/syslog.conf
   *.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit        /var/adm/messages
   *.alert;kern.err;daemon.err                     operator
   #

   Change the daemon.notice to daemon.debug and restart syslogd. Note that the output below, from grep daemon /etc/syslog.conf, shows that daemon.debug has been set.

   # grep daemon /etc/syslog.conf
   *.err;kern.debug;daemon.debug;mail.crit        /var/adm/messages
   *.alert;kern.err;daemon.err                    operator

   Restart the syslog daemon.

   1. If running Solaris 9

      # pkill -1 syslogd

   2. If running Solaris 10

      # svcadm disable system-log
      # svcadm enable system-log

2. Edit /opt/SUNWscsmb/xxx/config.

   Perform this step for the samba or winbind components that require debug output, on each node of Oracle Solaris Cluster as required.

   Edit /opt/SUNWscsmb/xxx/etc/config and change DEBUG= to DEBUG=ALL or DEBUG=resource.

   # cat /opt/SUNWscsmb/samba/etc/config

   #ident   "@(#)config 1.1     06/03/21 SMI"
   #
   # Usage:
   #       DEBUG=<RESOURCE_NAME> or ALL
   #
   DEBUG=ALL

   Note - To turn off debug, reverse the steps above.
