[Samba] missing file in logrotate config

[Arnaud FLORENT]

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
}
