[Samba] why both smbd.log and log.smbd?

Our smb.conf file contains:
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
yet the /var/log/samba directory has all of these:
smbd.log
log.smbd
nmbd.log
log.nmbd
I verified that the %m.log forms are from the log file line by
temporarily changing it to foo_%m.log. Using "lsof" I was able to see
that the log.%m forms are from the smbd and nbmd processes.
Why are these other two forms, which do not respect the "log file"
setting, present?
Thanks,
