Title:
  logrotate for smbd log restarts nmbd instead of smbd

Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Marking security because this causes loss of logging information.

       1	/var/log/samba/log.smbd {
       2		weekly
       3		missingok
       4		rotate 7
       5		postrotate
       6			[ ! -f /var/run/samba/nmbd.pid ] || kill -HUP `cat /var/run/samba/nmbd.pid`
       7		endscript
       8		compress
       9		notifempty
      10	}

  Please see line 6 - although we are rotating log.smbd,
  logrotate is asked to send the HUP signal to the wrong process, nmbd.

  In two places, nmbd.pid must be replaced by smbd.pid, 
  otherwise processes continue to log into a compressed/deleted logfile, causing logs to get lost.
