max log file does not work (i.e logfile grows forever)

[guest]

Entering a size limit for the logfiles in smb.conf via max log size is in vain, because Samba tries to rename the file and that fails.

Probably a similar resolution like Ticket #30 and #31 is required.

I think the bug is located in \source\lib\debug.c, function check_log_size(), line 708 to 715.

Okay, to reproduce the problem, add

max log size = 1000

to the [global] section of smb.conf. Now the logfile should not grow bigger than 1000 kb i.e 1 MB.

Setting the loglevel to 5 (or higher) and running a dir /s /-p from a client against a share full of files should produce a "bigger" logfile within some 30 seconds or so.

This is becoming a a major annoyance...
