log.nmbd filling up /usr directory

After a power outage a week ago, the /usr directory (AIX4.3.3) started filling up. If I added filespace (chfs -a size=+xxxxx /usr) it would fill that new space up too within hours. I think I've found the culprit. The /usr/local/samba/var/log.nmbd file is huge!

CAT of log.nmbd shows:

The smb.conf is configured and points to a machine which has netbois over tcpip enabled, but I don't believe it's ever had the WINS service installed & running.

The smb.conf file is listed below, and does point to aurora-tsm2 as the wins server'.
Any thoughts?

My question is, can I just delete this file and will it then recreate itself? If it does recreate itself, I am obviously going to run into this issue again when it gets big enough. Is there any way to test that it's getting the corrrect WINS information from this server? I do not have any apparent connectivity issues with this machine and the rest of the network.

PLEASE HELP!
