Hi palme, I don't know anything about the debian distribution, but just to make sure that this isn't some issue with debian standard log directory, and log rollover, or wierd permission issues, maybe you could try this; create a directory called /sambalog and open it wide up; chmod 777 /sambalog Then change your log file entry in smb.conf to be log file = /sambalog/log.%m
and see if you still get the problem with samba not being able to rename the logfiles... Just a thought; maybe we can get some more data to lead us this way...

What could be the reason for smbd to be able to write but not to rename the log file???? I now did it by hand and set "max log size" to 10. Let's see what happens... -- ====================================================================== Hubert Palme Bergische Universitaet-Gesamthochschule Wuppertal Computing Center D-42097 Wuppertal E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Germany) http://www.hrz.uni-wuppertal.de/hrz/personen/h_palme.html -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
