Samba not rotating filled logs
I seem to have a problem with logging in samba (2.0.6-5, the latest in
potato). Recently, it seems that it won't rotate the log file
(/var/log/smb) when it hits the size limit specified in the smb.conf
file--it gives an logfile open error (see below), and starts spewing the
log entries to the console. Everything still works, but it is quite annoying.
Since I didn't notice the problem until the log filled up, I can't pin down
exactly when it started to happen, but I'm pretty sure it happened with at
least 2.0.6-4 also. I think my installation is a fairly standard frozen
that is up-to-date as of the beginning of the week. I'm using the default
log size of 1000 (kB), but I've also tried changing the log size, with the
result that everything works until the new limit is reached, then it
overflows again.
I'm kind of at a loss here, since the logging works fine until it fills,
and I haven't seen any bugs filed for this problem. The global part of my
smb.conf and smb log file listing are below. If anything else would be
useful, let me know. Any suggestions?
Thanks for any ideas,
Eric
