Unable to open new log file /var/samba/log.smbd: No such file or directory

[Edgar, Bob]

I get these messages in my log file and I was wondering if I'm just being
stupid.

This is 2.2.8a on Solaris 7 built with --localstatedir=/var/samba

As one can see from the time stamps on the files it does open a new file
from time to time.

The legal  word:

On the other hand, it probably doesn't accurately reflect the author's 
opinion either, but that's another story. So it goes.
