File Server Logs - Samba and Netatalk
I have installed a linux file server and it works great. At my location we have a mix of Mac & Windows systems. Netatalk and Samba are setup on the server. The problem is recently someone has deleted file or files haven't been put on the server properly. Two different departments are pointing fingers blaming the other one.
Is there a script someplace that will keep logs of every file and how it's been added/delete/modified? I expect fairly large logs due to the amount of data that is changed daily on the server but I am confident I can parse through the logs fairly quickly. Or is there a second option that I am overlooking?

afp_signature.conf
AFP_SIGNATURE.CONF(5) Netatalk 2.2 AFP_SIGNATURE.CONF(5)
NAME
afp_signature.conf - Configuration file used by afpd(8) to specify server signature
DESCRIPTION
/etc/netatalk/afp_signature.conf is the configuration file used by afpd to specify server signature automagically. The configuration lines
are composed like:
"server name" hexa-string
The first field is server name. Server names must be quoted if they contain spaces. The second field is the hexadecimal string of 32
characters for 16-bytes server signature.
The leading spaces and tabs are ignored. Blank lines are ignored. The lines prefixed with # are ignored. The illegal lines are ignored.
Note
Server Signature is unique 16-bytes identifier used to prevent logging on to the same server twice.
Netatalk 2.0 and earlier generated server signature by using gethostid(). There was a problem that another servers have the same
signature because the hostid is not unique enough.
Current netatalk generates the signature from random numbers and saves it into afp_signature.conf. When starting next time, it is read
from this file.
This file should not be thoughtlessly edited and be copied onto another server. If it wants to set the signature intentionally, use the
option "-signature user:xxxx" in afpd.conf. In this case, afp_signature.conf is not used.
EXAMPLES
Example. afp_signature.conf three servers on one netatalk
