How can I increase the size of any given log file?
I am running COL 2.3 and Samba as a server. I have no problems logging in. However, the following shows up in my log file:
Jul 23 20:18:15 server PAM_pwdb[883]: 1 authentication failure; (uid=0) -> brianw for samba service

In reality, there is no error. I log in fine and access all of my files. From the workstation standpoint, there is nothing wrong.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Have you checked out the log recording at the samba port ? Because as I see, you have to deal with the port level. If you are accesing from a windoze or to a windoze the password is scrambeled by win encryption service. You may have some trouble that is logged and you don't see the problem because the pam server collects the faliure, and that's all.

Hope it can help
