smb.conf preexec syntax

Hi,

I was debugging why a very old "root preexec" stanza in my smb.conf 
(Sernet Version 4.21 on RHEL 8) doesn't work (and leaves no trace of 
failure in Samba log). The stanza uses exact manpage syntax:

preexec = echo \"%u connected to %S from %m (%I)\" >> /tmp/log

To my experience this doesn't work. This works:

preexec = /bin/sh -c 'echo "%u connected to %S from %m (%I)" >> /tmp/log'

Can somebody confirm this?

Thank you
Matthias
