Hello all, I am having a problem with Samba version 2.0.7 running on Solaris 2.7 and the way the log files are kept. In my smb.conf file I have "max log size 2000", "log level = 2" and "log file = /var/opt/samba/log.%U". All of this works fine and does what one would expect. With this configuration on a busy system when the log file reaches its max size and gets rolled over to "log.user.old" some of the "smbd" daemons are still writing to it. This is not a problem in its self, but the next time that "log.user" gets rolled over and "log.user.old" gets remove and some "smbd" daemons are still writing to "log.user.old". I now have a file with out a name that is being written to by a daemon that is still working. Every one is happy for several days, then the file system the logs are on fills up and I have no file to remove. My only option is to kill the smbd process that is holding the removed file open. This drops the connections to that smbd and causes problems to our application. Is there any way to force the running processes ( smbd ) to switch log files? Is there another answer to this problem that I have not seen? Any help would be appreciated. Rich Wachter Z-Tel Communications, Inc.

I'm running Mandrake 8.1 with Samba 2.2.2. Client is W2K.
I'm having a problem where my W2K machine cannot connect to my samba server.
I've found something interesting in my log file. It says it cannot open
/etc/samba/smb.conf. However when I run testparm finds it. Any ideas why I
would get these errors in my log file?
root@mail samba]# testparm
