If you mean the execute permission of the directorys: They are OK: # ll / | grep var drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 1024 Nov 21 2000 var # ll /var/ | grep log drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 5120 Jun 22 12:28 log # ll /var/log/smb -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 117 Jun 22 12:28 /var/log/smb # Otherwise smbd wouldn't be able to write to it, but it does. dm> Hope this helps, No, sorry. What could be the reason for smbd to be able to write but not to rename the log file???? I now did it by hand and set "max log size" to 10.
