Hello Bernd,
I don't know of any bug that would cause Samba to crash by using %I instead
of %m for a logfile.  However, I don't think I have ever actually tried this
parameter...
(%I).
When you say it 'crashes'  What exactly do you mean - do the smbd processes
leave core files?  is there any evidence in the log.%I files of errors? what
exactly happens?

If you have log files or core files from this situation,
I would be interested in seeing them, as well as a dump of your dmesg and
syslog file from that period.

Thanks,
don

Hi,

Recently I substituted the %m macro for the logfile name
with the %I macro to prevent the recently discovered security
hole.

  http://samba.epfl.ch/samba/whatsnew/macroexploit.html

But I discovered that our Samba 2.0.7 version from HP

  CIFS-Development      A.01.05        CIFS/9000 server source code files 
  CIFS-Server           A.01.05        CIFS/9000 (Samba) File and Print
Services 

now crashes every 2 days. Before that modification it ran fine
without causing problems. I switched back to %m and wait for the
new CIFS release from HP.

Is this a known problem?

Regards,
Bernd Nies
