samba - Dec 2023 - missing file in logrotate config

Hi


you could try a file /etc/logrotate.d/samba-local with this content


/var/log/samba/log.samba-dcerpcd
/var/log/samba/log.rpcd_classic
/var/log/samba/log.rpcd_winreg
/var/log/samba/log.samba-bgqd
/var/log/samba/log.rpcd_spoolss {
 ?? ?weekly
 ?? ?missingok
 ?? ?rotate 7
 ?? ?compress
 ?? ?delaycompress
 ?? ?notifempty
}

I have:


/var/log/samba/log.rpcd_* {
	weekly
	missingok
	rotate 7
	postrotate
         /usr/bin/killall -HUP /usr/sbin/smbd
         endscript
	compress
	delaycompress
	notifempty
}


and get "ls" like:

log.rpcd_spoolss
log.rpcd_spoolss.1
log.rpcd_spoolss.1.1
log.rpcd_spoolss.1.1.1
log.rpcd_spoolss.1.1.1.1
log.rpcd_winreg
log.rpcd_winreg.1
log.rpcd_winreg.1.1
log.rpcd_winreg.1.1.1
log.rpcd_winreg.1.1.1.1
log.rpcd_winreg.1.1.1.1.1
log.rpcd_winreg.1.1.1.1.1.1
log.rpcd_winreg.1.1.1.1.1.1.1
log.rpcd_winreg.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1
log.rpcd_winreg.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1
log.rpcd_winreg.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1
log.rpcd_winreg.1.1.1.2.gz
log.rpcd_winreg.1.1.2.gz
log.rpcd_winreg.1.1.2.gz.1
log.rpcd_winreg.1.1.2.gz.1.1
log.rpcd_winreg.1.1.2.gz.1.1.1
log.rpcd_winreg.1.2.gz
log.rpcd_winreg.1.2.gz.1
log.rpcd_winreg.1.2.gz.1.1
log.rpcd_winreg.1.2.gz.1.1.1
log.rpcd_winreg.1.2.gz.1.1.1.1
log.rpcd_winreg.1.2.gz.1.1.1.1.1
log.rpcd_winreg.1.2.gz.1.1.1.1.1.1
log.rpcd_winreg.1.2.gz.1.1.1.1.1.1.1


That doesn't look good / correct to me.
