Samba 2.0.5a and some Strange Doings...

[Norman Weathers]

Hello All!

Well, I have been a happy user of samba for several months now.  It
has performed better than we could ever hope.  But, lately, there
have been some problems.  The big thing is that samba seems to 
overflow its logs, and then, instead of swapping the logs out
(I read that it checks the log size, then swaps out the large log
to the *.old extension, is that still correct?), it dumps everything
to the console.  Currently, I have the log size set at 50K, and it
is doing this dump problem every 1 to 2 days (Today, I upped the log
size to 500K).  This last time, it caused a major malfunction on the 
server.  It basically disabled the nmbd and severley crippled the smbd
(Took over 15 minutes for a typical login).  Anyway, is this a known 
problem?  I can send  someone my logs and configs if you would like, 
but I didn't want to waste the bandwidth just yet if they weren't
needed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
