Hi, Attached the recent samba folder zipped. 'cores' folder was already
there. So, I didn't create it.

I ran the command:
 ls -la /var/log/samba/cores

Here's what I get:

ats@ats-pc:~$ ls -la /var/log/samba/cores
total 16
drwx------ 4 ats  root 4096 May 21  2017 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov  5 00:36 ..
drwx------ 2 ats  root 4096 May 21  2017 nmbd
drwx------ 2 ats  root 4096 May 21  2017 smbd



Regards,
