Description Daniel Beschorner (dead mail address) 2006-02-23 17:19:52 UTC 
For probably Samba > 3.0.14 I see this often in the logs:

[2006/01/19 12:25:13, 0] lib/debug.c:reopen_logs(597)
  Unable to open new log file /usr/local/samba/var/log.smbd: Permission denied

Yes, I found this bug also in Samba 3.0.22 at Solaris Sparc for the first time:
2006/04/12 10:12:04, 0] lib/debug.c:(597)
  Unable to open new log file /var/log/samba/log.smbd: Zugriff verweigert

also in 3.0.23RC3, but seems non-fatal

Comment 3 Volker Lendecke 2006-06-29 06:13:50 UTC 
Daniel, can you reproduce the   smbldap_open: cannot access LDAP when not root.. ones? If yes, I'd like to see a debug level 10 log of that.

Comment 4 Daniel Beschorner (dead mail address) 2006-06-30 07:24:33 UTC 
I'd like to reproduce it, but it happens too sporadically and a permanent level 10 log to catch it is impossible in our production environment.

But what I can say is that it has been introduced by 3.0.23, often seen with a make_connection_snum call, but sometimes totally unrelated.

As soon as I got a hint how I can trigger it, I'll provide a level 10 log.
Comment 5 Daniel Beschorner (dead mail address) 2006-08-09 03:21:47 UTC 
I haven't seen this error yet with 3.0.23.
Also the LDAP messages may be gone.
