this setting created a new log file and renamed the old one with .0 at the end.
However, samba still writes to the old log file. So I restarted samba (/etc/init.d/samba stop and start). After that, the new log file started to grow.
I modified the entry in logadm to the following:
/var/samba/log.nmbd -C 1 -a 'kill -HUP `cat /usr/local/samba/var/locks/smbd.pid`' -s 5k
the old file is indeed created but still samba writes to the old file.
Can you pls advise??
thx.

My logadm.conf is below. Is there a way to match a log file that appends the time/date stamp after the log file? Also, a 0 is being appended onto the files I'm compressing and having rotated. Is there a way to fix that?

log2pcap
LOG2PCAP(1) User Commands LOG2PCAP(1)
NAME
log2pcap - Extract network traces from Samba log files
SYNOPSIS
log2pcap [-h] [-q] [logfile] [pcap_file]
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
log2pcap reads in a samba log file and generates a pcap file (readable by most sniffers, such as ethereal or tcpdump) based on the packet
dumps in the log file.
The log file must have a log level of at least 5 to get the SMB header/parameters right, 10 to get the first 512 data bytes of the packet
and 50 to get the whole packet.
OPTIONS
-h
If this parameter is specified the output file will be a hex dump, in a format that is readable by the text2pcap utility.
-q
Be quiet. No warning messages about missing or incomplete data will be given.
logfile
Samba log file. log2pcap will try to read the log from stdin if the log file is not specified.
pcap_file
Name of the output file to write the pcap (or hexdump) data to. If this argument is not specified, output data will be written to
stdout.
-?|--help
Print a summary of command line options.
EXAMPLES
Extract all network traffic from all samba log files:
$ log2pcap < /var/log/* > trace.pcap
Convert to pcap using text2pcap:
$ log2pcap -h samba.log | text2pcap -T 139,139 - trace.pcap
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 3 of the Samba suite.
BUGS
Only SMB data is extracted from the samba logs, no LDAP, NetBIOS lookup or other data.
The generated TCP and IP headers don't contain a valid checksum.
