[Samba] Log rotation issue

[Anantha Raghava]

Hi,

We recently migrated the samba-ad-dc from 4.6.5 to 4.7.1. Over a period 
of last 15 days or so we have been observing that although the samba log 
rotates, upon rotation, samba will start writing the logs to both the 
main log file and the <main log>.old file simultaneously. While, the 
main log file rotates properly, instead of deleting old file and create 
a new one on rotation, samba continues to write into the <main log>.old 
file and file size keeps increasing.

Any suggestion to fix it? Also, we need some suggestions to use wild 
card such as %h, %m etc for samba log.

Our smb.conf is shown below.

         log file = /var/log/samba/samba.log
         max log size = 1000000
