TICKET ARCHIVE -> Turning On Apple File Service Log

cyberraga - Apr 19, 2005 - 1:04 pm

Can anyone tell me how to turn on the Apple File Service Log? I'm running OSX 10.3.8.

I know it has something to do with the Netinfo Manager program, but I don't know any more than that.

Actually I remember reading something that said only the Apple File Service error log is on by default. I need to turn on the Apple File Service Access log. Do you know how I would go about doing that? Thanks for your help.

I believe this is only available on OS X Server Systems.

I actually have it running on a G5 but the G5 has sharepoints installed on it. One of the tabs on the Sharepoints prefs lets you activate the Apple File Service Access Log.

I need to activate it on a system that isn't running sharepoints. I was told I could do this using the Netinfo Manager utility and simply changing a value from a "0" to a "1" or something like that but I can't find the instructions I had printed out.

I don't know if the instructions required a server system or not. Thanks for trying though.

See if this helps;

Open NetInfo Manager

In NetInfo Manager, choose /config/AppleFileServer.

Choose the "activity_log" property. Change its value from "0" to "1".

Choose "Save" from the NetInfo Manager "Domain" menu.

Stop and restart File Sharing in System Prefs.

Find your log in /Library/Logs/ApplefileService/AppleFileServiceAccess.log
