Well, I don't know if this is the root of your "can't find domain sever"
problem. I use the default samba logrotate script (from RPM) on my Samba
PDC, and several other Samba servers, and haven't had this problem.

Note that all Samba servers are RedHat 7.1, Samba 2.2.1a+LDAP patch; clients
are mostly Win2000 SP2, we have one Win2000 Server that is a member of the
domain.
