[Bug 1375072] [NEW] logrotate for smbd log restarts nmbd instead of smbd

[Matthias Andree]

*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

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.
