If you look at the contents of those files, they contain
the messages that go out before smb.conf is parsed. Those
are the compiled in default names.

Our smb.conf file contains:

        log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log

yet the /var/log/samba directory has all of these:

  smbd.log
  log.smbd
  nmbd.log
  log.nmbd

I verified that the %m.log forms are from the log file line by
temporarily changing it to foo_%m.log.  Using "lsof" I was able to see
that the log.%m forms are from the smbd and nbmd processes.
Why are these other two forms, which do not respect the "log file"
setting, present?

Thanks,
