This is my personal experience:
- now, after the hup, new connections go to new logs, active connections
keep going to the old logs.
- if you rotate the log with logrotate, telling it to gzip the files,
then samba stops logging completely till restart.

Since I rotate the logs at 4:00am (noone is connected to the server)
this is now my logrotate script:

/var/log/samba/log.nmb {
    postrotate
        /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart
        #/usr/bin/killall -HUP nmbd
    endscript
}
 
/var/log/samba/log.smb {
    postrotate
        /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart
        #/usr/bin/killall -HUP smbd
    endscript
}
