Not reopening logfiles when HUPing

Hi,
I thought that HUPing the master smbd process (and/or the child
processes) was supposed to cause the logfiles to be reopened?
This does not appear to happen on our installation (2.0.4b2, Solaris
2.6). If I make a connection to a share, rename the logfile and
HUP/delete the daemon (either parent or child), a new file is not created.
Alternatively, how about a feature where we can signal Samba to do what
it does when it reaches the 'max log size' limit.
On debug level 3, I get lots of stuff, including 'Got SIGHUP', but no
reload of log files. Out of desparation, I've tried touching the
configuration file and log file.
Any suggestions?
- Bob
