[Samba] - log file

[Daniel Tan]

GlacierHi Samba People,
                          i have a minor problem of my log file accumalating
to a huge size. i have max log size = 5 and this works for files residing in
/var/samba/log where users will have a log file of their own. But above that
directory is a log file named log.smb where it is quickly gaining in size.
Below is my smb.conf file and the details of log.smb. How do i reduce the
size to a fixed size?
