While I've never used it myself, SAMBA seems to have a "max log size"
directive in smb.conf that causes a log switch to log.old or similar
and a fresh one started. I seem to recall that the HP version of 6.0
Samba/iX did have a patch regarding hangs with very large logfiles.
I do not know/recall, though, whether this also was required to make
the automatic logfile switching work.
