Log File for winbind
The output of a “net join” is captured into a file named 'log-wb[domain name]'. This log file can be
utilized to view failures of a join or to view success messages for the join. The following is an example
of one such log file:
less /var/log/samba/log.wb-SNV-TAC
Using Sessions to Determine a Client IP Address
If necessary, a session ID can be used to determine the IP address of a client. The session ID can be
identified in the mdscore log file. Then, by searching the output of the command “cat
/var/omneon/mdscore/sessions”, the client IP address associated with that session can be identified.
It is important to understand that the session ID can change or the client may not have an active
connection to the Omneon MediaGrid. Under these circumstances this process of identifying the
client IP would not work.
Active Connections to the Omneon MediaGrid: MDS Sessions
To determine what clients are connected to the Omneon MediaGrid, the following command can be
issued on any of the ContentDirectors. It will display each connection which includes IP information
as well as duration and the User Session ID. This Session ID can be seen in the mdscore log files and
all associated activity on the Omneon MediaGrid.
The mdscore log file can be used to identify an active session ID and then associate that ID with an IP
address by using the cat command to view the sessions file in the /var/omneon/mdscore directory.
Commands like “more” and “less” will not work on this file directly.
cat of sessions:
cat /var/omneon/mdscore/sessions
