Unusually large log file

Hi everyone,
	The following is the first page or so from a Samba log file which had 
grown to some 9Gb in size!:

I had to delete the log file to free up space, as it had totally filled the 
/ partition. The system is a RedHat 7.1 machine running Samba 2.0.10, and 
serves as a file and print server. It also holds the Internet connection.

If anyone can throw some light on this situation for me, it would be highly 
appreciated. I've been using Samba for almost a year now, in small 
networks, and I've never seen such a ludicrously large log file! Thanx in 
advance!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^> / partition. The system is a RedHat 7.1 machine running Samba 2.0.10, and  ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Your full partition could be the cause of your problem. If it works again 
after you deleted the log, you know it is so. You can also use logrotate to 
control the size of logs. See man logrotate.

You can set the max size of the log files in smb.conf with the parameter

max log size = <size in kB>

Hope this helps.
