Package: samba
Version: 2:3.5.6~dfsg-3squeeze8
Severity: normal
Hello samba-Maintainers,
there's a problem with the 'reload' action in the samba init script, it
only signals HUP the single PID given in /var/run/samba/smbd.pid. On
(nearly?) all systems I looked at using samba, there are two smbd
processes, and the log file opened by the second process stay open:
| $ sudo lsof -n |grep deleted
| smbd 30166 root 2w REG 254,1 5910 65672
/var/log/samba/log.smbd.1 (deleted)
| smbd 30166 root 8w REG 254,1 5910 65672
/var/log/samba/log.smbd.1 (deleted)
| $ sudo service samba reload
| Reloading /etc/samba/smb.conf: smbd only.
| $ sudo lsof -n |grep deleted
| smbd 30166 root 2w REG 254,1 5910 65672
/var/log/samba/log.smbd.1 (deleted)
| smbd 30166 root 8w REG 254,1 5910 65672
/var/log/samba/log.smbd.1 (deleted)
| $ sudo service samba restart
| Stopping Samba daemons: nmbd smbd.
| Starting Samba daemons: nmbd smbd.
| $ sudo lsof -n |grep deleted
| $
A 'restart' instead of a reload kills all samba daemons and starts them again,
but on the one hand that is rather brutal, and on the other, logrotate doesn't
use "samba restart" but "samba reload", so the log.smbd file doesn't get
reopened.
As this loses (log) data, I've kept the priority at normal instead of minor.
| youam@brann:~$ pidof smbd
| 22782 22768
| youam@brann:~$ cat /var/run/samba/smbd.pid
| 22768
I've tried on another system that actually sending a SIGHUP to all smbd
processes does reopen the log files, as expected.
