It can.  Just be sure to anchor the glob.  For example, using
"/var/log/samba/smb*" is really bad because the first rotated file

prevents "<...>log.1" from matching.


This is where I run into the problem. The files do not have a .log
extension. They are in the format of MM.DD.YYYY


Then anchor appropriatelly:

/var/log/samba/smb\.[0-9][0-9]\.[0-9][0-9]\.[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]
