Hi! I believe that you are correct -- I noticed that startup and shutdown info was recorded to the files, but normal messages were being directed to syslog as they should be.
I very briefly looked a the samba bugzilla listings but didn't see anything. I concur that this should go upstream, but I wanted to be sure to bug under my distro first. Should you or I pursue the issue with the maintainers?
