How can I increase the log level of winbind or samba without restarting the services?

Solution Verified - Updated 2014-04-27T15:52:03+00:00 -

Issue

I don't want to restart winbind or samba to increase the log levels.
I need increased logging while a problem is occurring but increasing the log level through the smb.conf requires a restart of the services which can temporarily fix an issue and requires me to wait for another occurrence to get the logs I need.
Continuous level 10 logging can cause a performance hit and fill up disk space.

Environment

Red Hat Enterprise Linux
samba-3.0.33
