1) HUP/log
In a previous post I said that the HUP/logging issue was still there. I
did some more tests:

For example:
===  /etc/logrotate.d/samba
/var/log/samba/log.nmb {
    daily
    postrotate
    /usr/bin/killall -HUP nmbd
    endscript
}
 
/var/log/samba/log.smb {
    daily
    postrotate
    /usr/bin/killall -HUP smbd
    endscript
}
===
[go at i4 samba]$ pwd
/var/log/samba
[go at i4 samba]$ ls -ltr

So samba stopped logging completely, or maybe kept logging to a zipped
file. During these days samba worked as usual, and was never restarted.

I had to restart samba to see the log files growing:
[root at i4 samba]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart
Shutting down SMB services:                                [  OK  ]
Shutting down NMB services:                                [  OK  ]
Starting SMB services:                                     [  OK  ]
Starting NMB services:                                     [  OK  ]

2) Print queue names
This is a request for enhancement, if it's possible.
When you print to a samba printer from win9x, you see in the
printer-queue-window-on-win9x the file name that is being spooled
(filename or title); as soon as the file is in /var/spool/samba, you see
the filename as it's on the linux side (go.AJHSJSK or similar). Wouldn't
it be possible to show to win9x the real name even when the file is
already on the linux side?

Thanks.
