[Samba] Log file problem

[raghu nandan]

Hello everybody,

       I am using Mandrake 8.2 server(Samba 2.0.7) and Win95 
clients. I am facing the following problem.

1. In /var/log/samba folder a log file log.smb.old is getting 
created frequently. It will not be there always. Suddenly it is 
created and its size will be almost 950 MB. After this we face 
problem with accessing bigger files(4-5 MB).Telnet connection also 
becomes slow.The file contents are like this.

[2002/07/01 13:42:15, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_data(508)
   write_data: write failure. Error = Broken pipe
[2002/07/01 13:42:15, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_data(508)
   write_data: write failure. Error = Broken pipe
[2002/07/01 13:42:15, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_data(508)
   write_data: write failure. Error = Broken pipe
[2002/07/01 13:42:15, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_data(508)
   write_data: write failure. Error = Broken pipe

2. Even after this file is deleted, the free space information 
does not show the actual thing. Only after restarting the server, 
everthing will be OK. Sometimes it is created after only few 
hours.

I searched the faq section but didnt get the solution. Hope 
somebody can help me in this regard.

Thanking you

Regards
Raghunandan
