I have Samba 3.0.0 installed on Mandrake 9.2. I also have Samba 2.8.8a installed per instructions from Mandrake -- but I do NOT start Samba 2.8.8a automatically. In fact, I don't use it at all. Maybe I should uninstall the Samba 2.8.8a rpm??? I will update to 3.0.1 as soon as an rpm is available from Mandrake. Anyway, I have a problem when I try to add a new share to my smb.conf file. I can't make it accessible to my Windows machines unless I reboot the Linux box. Simple restarting Samba3 doesn't do the trick (I think it's making Samba 2.2.8a START after shutting down Samba 3.0.0). Is there any trick to adding new shares and making them accessible to Windows without restarting either Samba3 or the whole server? And if I have to restart Samba3 -- and if I succeed in making it really restart -- won't that disconnect Windows users who are already connected to the server? Thanks for your advice. Andy Liebman

Sounds like you may not be stopping the smbd3 competely. How are you
stopping the service? Do verify that the smbd3 is stopped:
ps -ae | grep smbd3
Also, here are the latest Mandrake RMPS for Samba:

Good luck,

I have samba 3.0.1 running and have successfully set it up to be a print spooler, which is working great, until I tried to add more than 5 printers. I am using cups, using the cups web interface to add printers, today I added 2 more printers. They do not show up in samba, I have restarted cups, smb nmb, everything except the machine itself. Samba is set to load /etc/printcap printers, my /etc/printcap is as follows. # This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the # /etc/cups/printers.conf file. All changes to this file # will be lost. 7th_Dock_Laser: Edgeley_Inkjet: Edgeley_Laser: Eng_Laser: Eng_Laser_Color: Front_Office_Big_Laser: Front_Office_Laser: Michigan_Plotter: Any ideas why only the 1st 5 printers show up in samba?

Rob, Sorry. Not enough information. What is in your smb.conf? Have are the printers set up? Are you using Raw interface on CUPS? - If so, did you enable application/octet-stream in CUPS /etc/cups/mime* Was samba-3.0.1 compiled and linked against the cups-devel libraries? - to find out run: smbd -b | grep CUPS If you have CUPS, you should not be using /etc/printcap at all. Samba talks directly to CUPS via a direct printing API. - John T.
