GlacierHi Samba People, i have a minor problem of my log file accumalating to a huge size. i have max log size = 5 and this works for files residing in /var/samba/log where users will have a log file of their own. But above that directory is a log file named log.smb where it is quickly gaining in size. Below is my smb.conf file and the details of log.smb. How do i reduce the size to a fixed size? # Samba config file created using SWAT # from Daniel (0.0.0.0) # Date: 2001/11/05 10:20:51 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = MIS encrypt passwords = Yes update encrypted = Yes password level = 8 debug level = 5 log file = /var/samba/log/log.%U max log size = 5 wins support = Yes [moreward] comment = Moreward Directory path = /MOREWARD valid users = admin writeable = Yes browseable = no server /var/samba> more log.smb log.smb (18%) [2002/02/28 09:16:27, 1] smbd/server.c:main(641) log.smb (19%) smbd version 2.0.7 started. log.smb (20%) Copyright Andrew Tridgell 1992-1998 log.smb (21%) doing parameter log file = /var/samba/log/log.%U log.smb (22%) doing parameter max log size = 5 log.smb (22%) doing parameter wins support = Yes log.smb (23%) [2002/02/28 09:16:27, 2] param/loadparm.c:do_section(2481) log.smb (24%) Processing section "[moreward]" log.smb (25%) doing parameter comment = Moreward Directory log.smb (26%) doing parameter path = /MOREWARD log.smb (26%) doing parameter valid users = bsng log.smb (28%) doing parameter writeable = Yes log.smb (28%) doing parameter browseable = no log.smb (29%) [2002/02/28 09:16:27, 3] param/loadparm.c:lp_load(2805) log.smb (30%) pm_process() returned Yes log.smb (31%) [2002/02/28 09:16:27, 3] param/loadparm.c:lp_add_ipc(1594) log.smb (32%) adding IPC service log.smb (32%) [2002/02/28 09:16:55, 1] smbd/server.c:main(641) log.smb (33%) smbd version 2.0.7 started. log.smb (34%) Copyright Andrew Tridgell 1992-1998 log.smb (35%) doing parameter log file = /var/samba/log/log.%U log.smb (36%) doing parameter max log size = 5 log.smb (37%) doing parameter wins support = Yes log.smb (38%) [2002/02/28 09:16:55, 2] param/loadparm.c:do_section(2481) log.smb (38%) Processing section "[moreward]" log.smb (39%) doing parameter comment = Moreward Directory log.smb (40%) doing parameter path = /MOREWARD log.smb (41%) doing parameter valid users = bsng log.smb (42%) doing parameter writeable = Yes log.smb (42%) doing parameter browseable = no log.smb (43%) [2002/02/28 09:16:55, 3] param/loadparm.c:lp_load(2805) log.smb (44%) pm_process() returned Yes log.smb (45%) [2002/02/28 09:16:55, 3] param/loadparm.c:lp_add_ipc(1594) log.smb (46%) adding IPC service log.smb (47%) [2002/02/28 09:17:21, 1] smbd/server.c:main(641) log.smb (47%) smbd version 2.0.7 started. log.smb (49%) Copyright Andrew Tridgell 1992-1998 log.smb (49%) doing parameter log file = /var/samba/log/log.%U log.smb (50%) doing parameter max log size = 5 log.smb (51%) doing parameter wins support = Yes log.smb (52%) [2002/02/28 09:17:21, 2] param/loadparm.c:do_section(2481) log.smb (53%) Processing section "[moreward]" log.smb (53%) doing parameter comment = Moreward Directory log.smb (54%) doing parameter path = /MOREWARD log.smb (55%) doing parameter valid users = bsng log.smb (56%) doing parameter writeable = Yes log.smb (57%) doing parameter browseable = no log.smb (58%) [2002/02/28 09:17:21, 3] param/loadparm.c:lp_load(2805) log.smb (58%) pm_process() returned Yes log.smb (59%) [2002/02/28 09:17:21, 3] param/loadparm.c:lp_add_ipc(1594) log.smb (60%) adding IPC service log.smb (61%) [2002/02/28 09:17:49, 1] smbd/server.c:main(641) log.smb (62%) smbd version 2.0.7 started. log.smb (63%) Copyright Andrew Tridgell 1992-1998 log.smb (64%) doing parameter log file = /var/samba/log/log.%U log.smb (65%) doing parameter max log size = 5 log.smb (65%) doing parameter wins support = Yes log.smb (66%) [2002/02/28 09:17:49, 2] param/loadparm.c:do_section(2481) log.smb (67%) Processing section "[moreward]" log.smb (68%) doing parameter comment = Moreward Directory log.smb (69%) doing parameter path = /MOREWARD log.smb (69%) doing parameter valid users = bsng log.smb (70%) doing parameter writeable = Yes log.smb (71%) doing parameter browseable = no log.smb (72%) [2002/02/28 09:17:49, 3] param/loadparm.c:lp_load(2805) log.smb (73%) pm_process() returned Yes log.smb (73%) [2002/02/28 09:17:49, 3] param/loadparm.c:lp_add_ipc(1594) log.smb (74%) adding IPC service log.smb (75%) [2002/02/28 09:18:14, 1] smbd/server.c:main(641) log.smb (76%) smbd version 2.0.7 started. log.smb (77%) Copyright Andrew Tridgell 1992-1998 log.smb (78%) doing parameter log file = /var/samba/log/log.%U log.smb (79%) doing parameter max log size = 5 log.smb (80%) doing parameter wins support = Yes log.smb (80%) [2002/02/28 09:18:14, 2] param/loadparm.c:do_section(2481) log.smb (81%) Processing section "[moreward]" log.smb (82%) doing parameter comment = Moreward Directory doing parameter path = /MOREWARD doing parameter valid users = bsng doing parameter writeable = Yes doing parameter browseable = no [2002/02/28 09:18:14, 3] param/loadparm.c:lp_load(2805) pm_process() returned Yes [2002/02/28 09:18:14, 3] param/loadparm.c:lp_add_ipc(1594) adding IPC service [2002/02/28 09:18:42, 1] smbd/server.c:main(641) smbd version 2.0.7 started.
