[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#702201: samba: logrotate script for nmbd.log does not wait long enough.

[Tim Phipps]

Package: samba
Version: 2:3.6.6-5
Severity: normal

I keep getting 'gzip: stdin: file size changed while zipping' from the
logrotate cron job. It turns out to be /etc/logrotate.d/samba and the
postrotate script which does a kill -HUP on nmbd. When I look in the
just compressed log it says 'I just got a HUP, I'm dumping some
information'.

I don't know what the right fix for this is but I don't think nmbd
doing two things on HUP is a good idea. You can work around the gzip
warning by adding delaycompress to the logrotate conf.
