The default value if this parameter is not specified is zero.</p><p>The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log files about the activities of the server. At level 0, only critical errors and serious warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable level for day to day running - it generates a small amount of information about operations carried out.</p><p>Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and should only be used when investigating a problem. Levels above 3 are designed for use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log data, most of which is extremely cryptic.</p><p>Note that specifying this parameter here will override the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#loglevel" target="_top">log level</a> parameter in the <a href="smb.conf.5.html" target="_top"> <tt>smb.conf(5)</tt></a> file.</p></dd><dt><span class="term">-l|--logfile=logbasename</span></dt><dd><p>File name for log/debug files.

The client will first check the <tt>USER</tt> environment variable, then the <tt>LOGNAME</tt> variable and if either exists, the string is uppercased. If these environmental variables are not found, the username <tt>GUEST</tt> is used. </p><p>A third option is to use a credentials file which contains the plaintext of the username and password. This option is mainly provided for scripts where the admin does not wish to pass the credentials on the command line or via environment variables. If this method is used, make certain that the permissions on the file restrict access from unwanted users. See the <i><tt>-A</tt></i> for more details. </p><p>Be cautious about including passwords in scripts. Also, on many systems the command line of a running process may be seen via the <b>ps</b> command. To be safe always allow <b>rpcclient</b> to prompt for a password and type it in directly. </p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>QUOTA_SET_COMAND</h2><p>The format of an ACL is one or more ACL entries separated by either commas or newlines.

The exit status may be one of the following values. </p><p>If the operation succeeded, smbcquotas returns an exit status of 0. If <b>smbcquotas</b> couldn't connect to the specified server, or when there was an error getting or setting the quota(s), an exit status of 1 is returned. If there was an error parsing any command line arguments, an exit status of 2 is returned. </p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>VERSION</h2><p>This man page is correct for version 3.0 of the Samba suite.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>AUTHOR</h2><p>The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell.
