Hi! How come that the logfiles in my /var/log/samba looks like this: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 24 04:02 log.data -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3223 Jul 2 18:04 log.dell -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 22 04:29 log.dell.2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 1 04:02 log.dell.3 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jul 3 04:09 log.gggg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 9 06:06 log.install.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 17 04:05 log.install.1.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 23 04:44 log.install.1.1.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 30 05:36 log.install.1.1.1.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5112 Jun 30 05:36 log.install.1.1.1.1.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4708 Jul 3 01:10 log.ll -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 44591 Jul 3 17:09 log.nmbd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 42391 Jul 3 17:10 log.riker -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1340 Jul 3 17:09 log.smbd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 23 04:44 log.smbd.2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 17 04:05 log.smbd.3 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 9 06:06 log.smbd.4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 2 05:59 log.troi -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 9 06:06 log.vstream I've cleaned up a lot, but the basic problem is that a lot of files ends in .1.1.1.1.1.1 (and so on) - what is the cause of this ?

What version of samba and u*ix are you using? what is the output of testparm |grep "log file" ? Normally your log files should 'cycle' from log.machinename and log.machinename.old.... The .1 and 1.1... etc are probably happining because of an OS issue with renaming the log file when it reaches it's threshold... normally, when the log.whatever reaches its max log size, it gets renamed to log.whatever.old, and a new log file named log.whatever is opened and that gets written to. This doesn't appear to be happening on your system. Check the samba mailing list archives also - this sounds familiar...

Yes, this happened to me back in 2000, with RedHat 6.2 and Samba 2.0.x (can't remember the exact version, but it was downloaded from RedHat).
