[PATCH] Bug 10239 - log.nmbd never rotates

[Bjoern Baumbach]

Hi!

I've analyzed the logfile rotation issue in the nmbd and found the
reason. The reason is, that the debugging system in the nmbd is
initiated before the smb.conf is loaded. Sending the SIGHUP resets the
debug settings, as set in the smb.conf.

So the max log size it not the only option, that is not set. It's the
same issue for hires timestamp or debug pid. The debug state.settings
struct is not filled.
After sending the SIGHUP or using the patch that resets the debug
settings after reading the config, the debug state struct is filled as
expected.

Best regards
Björn
