I tried it out:
# grep -i log /etc/samba/smb.conf
log file = /smbtest/smb
max log size = 10
wrpc3# ll /smbtest/
insgesamt 11
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10357 Jun 27 13:46 smb
wrpc3# ll -d /smbtest/
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 1024 Jun 27 14:37 /smbtest/
wrpc3#
But after restarting smbd, it still uses /var/log/smb (and can't
rename it):
ll /var/log/smb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10719 Jun 27 16:03 /var/log/smb
wrpc3#
Things become more and more strange (or do I??)
