The difference I see is, that yours is a standalone and on all machines 
I have this, are DCs.

Also on DCs, the logs of the clients are rotated. But there's also one 
logfile named "%m.log" (with your config, It would be called 
"rotateme-please-%m.log"). This one contains output from the samba 
process and not from smbd or the child-smbds forked by connecting 
clients, I think. And this one isn't rotated

I wasn't clear enough in the bug report about that. Sorry.


Regards,
Marc
