[Samba] 2.2.6pre2 (and previous?) "tiny bug" with "log file" attribute

[Pierre Belanger]

Hi,

I never thought I would need to change the default log
file path, but I had and found a bug.

When changing my default "log file" from

  /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m

to

  /usr/local/samba/var/log/log.%m

there are always files created in the "default compiled"
log directory /usr/local/samba/var when nmbd and smbd
start.

The following ls are right after doing a "stop" and "start":

# ls -l /usr/local/samba/var
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         512 Sep 25 15:23 locks
drwx------   2 root     root         512 Sep 25 15:21 log
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other        478 Sep 25 15:23 log.nmbd
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root         140 Sep 25 15:23 log.smbd
# ls -l /usr/local/samba/var/log
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root          80 Sep 25 15:11 log.nmbd
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root           0 Sep 25 15:11 log.smbd

Timestamp of files in /usr/local/samba/var are more recent
cuz "nmbd/smbd" didn't write _yet_ in the other files located
in /usr/local/samba/var/log .
