samba - Sep 2000 - Multiple Log Files for each machine

I have samba 2.0.7 on rh6.2 (the rpm version)

It's configured to keep logs for each machine 'log.%m'

What i have for each machine in /var/log/samba is this:

log.dh68
log.dh68.1
log.dh68.1.1
log.dh68.1.1.1
log.dh68.1.1.1.1
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.3
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.3
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.3
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.3
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2.1
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2.1.1
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2.1.1.1
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2.1.1.1.1
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2.1.1.1.1.1
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.3
log.dh68.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.4

etc ...

Is there any way to have a decent log ??

This is a RedHat problem, not samba's.
RedHat added a custom logrotate script to handle the "log.%m" logging
format it uses in the smb.conf.

Look at /etc/logrotate.d/samba

If the 1st line is 
/var/log/samba/* {

try changing it to be 
/var/log/samba/*.log {

Thanks Giulio, you pointed me in the right direction.

1 st line was 

/var/log/samba/log.* {

This kept rotating logs that had already been rotated ex: log.dh68.1 &
log.dh68.2

I canged the smb.conf option to %m.log
them canged the /etc/logrotate.d/samba to:

/var/log/samba/*.log {
	size 100k
    	notifempty
    	missingok
    	postrotate
		/usr/bin/killall -HUP nmbd
    	endscript
}

/var/log/samba/log.smb {
    notifempty
    missingok
    postrotate
	/usr/bin/killall -HUP nmbd
    endscript
}

/var/log/samba/log.nmb {
    notifempty
    missingok
    postrotate
	/usr/bin/killall -HUP nmbd
    endscript
}

This seems to do the trick; another option is to put 

/var/log/samba/^log.[a-b]*[0-9]*$ {

but I wasn't sure if regular expressions work in logrotate,
this way I have separate formats for machine logs %m.log & the daemon
logs smb.log nmb.log
