[Info-vax] Samba log files

[DeanW]

I've got an interface that uses Samba. A requesting machine polls our server
looking for data files. Every time it connects, a new
SAMBA$ROOT:[VAR]SAMBA$STARTUP.LOG gets created. This happens every 15
seconds... roughly 5700 log files a day. While it self-purges to only keep
the 10 most recent, but it still rolls over 32k versions in less than a
week. Ugh.

I'm guessing that the Inactivity parameter (see below) on the service causes
it to time out and die just before the next request, but I'm stumped as to
how that gets set, changed, cleared, or even exactly what it means...

Help? The goal is to stop/slow down the frequency that new log files get
created.
