Summary:                    Default location for log files is incorrect
Description: 
It seems that by default, Blastwave\'s Samba put some of its logs in
/opt/csw/var, which isn\'t very clean:
# ls -l /opt/csw/var/log.*
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other      22261 Oct 17 10:37
/opt/csw/var/log.nmbd
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        4742 Oct 17 10:34
/opt/csw/var/log.smbd

I had to modify the cswsamba startup script add the -l option to both smbd
and nmbd, and log in /var/log/samba.

IMHO, the default should be in /opt/csw/var/log/samba.
