I just upgraded to 3.0.26a via src rpm and noticed some strange
behavior in the log files. I have the following line in my smb.conf:
Log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
which worked fine in 3.0.24c. But now when I start the daemons, they
write to /var/log/samba/log.%m. Actually, nmbd is writing to one log
and smbd is writing to both:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9724 Sep 11 20:15 log.nmbd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 871 Sep 11 20:00 log.smbd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5116 Sep 11 20:00 smbd.log
I experienced the same problem a few years back. I went back into
the archives and found this:

That has been the case since 3.0.0 so far as I can recall.

You are not guilty! :) I see the same thing. Its a known behavior.

So is this still known behavior? Is there a way to correct this?
