thanks

I just noticed this happened on a system running lenny:

        nmbd      18477 root    2w   REG  253,3 761089     0  88461 /var/log/samba/log.smbd.1 (deleted)
        nmbd      18477 root   17w   REG  253,3 761089     0  88461 /var/log/samba/log.smbd.1 (deleted)
        smbd      18485 root    2w   REG  253,3 409764     0  88463 /var/log/samba/log.smbd.1 (deleted)
        smbd      18485 root    7w   REG  253,3 409764     0  88463 /var/log/samba/log.smbd.1 (deleted)

At the time I noticed this, /var/log/samba/log.smbd was empty. When I
ran '/etc/init.d/samba reload' the following message was written to that
file:
        
        [2009/07/19 12:55:32,  1] smbd/server.c:open_sockets_smbd(645)
          Reloading services after SIGHUP

However, the smbd and nmbd processes did not close their handles to
log.smbd.1. Doing a 'restart' instead did fix the problem.
