Samba: Problem mit check_log_size

[palme@uni-wuppertal.de (Hubert Palme)]

Hi,

in the syslog file I repeatedly find the following messages:

Jun  8 08:19:40 wrpc3 smbd[8296]: [2001/06/08 08:19:40, 0] lib/debug.c:check_log_size(311)
Jun  8 08:19:40 wrpc3 smbd[8296]:   check_log_size: open of debug file /var/log/smb failed - using console.

The file /var/log/smb has the following attributes:

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1024067 Jun  6 12:14 smb

(Thus being writable for smbd!?)

The concerning entry in smb.conf is:

        max log size = 1000

(obviously just exceeded)

I run Debian Potato with

ii  samba          2.0.7-3.3      A LanManager like file and printer server fo 
ii  samba-common   2.0.7-3.3      Samba common files used by both the server a 
ii  samba-doc      2.0.7-3.3      Samba documentation. 
ii  swat           2.0.7-3.3      Samba Web Administration Tool

Samba runs as a daemon, not via inetd -- could there be a coherence?

Waiting for a hint...

Thanks in advance,
