Hello
I'm new to samba and this list, hopefully someone can help me with this
strange problem.
Samba 2.2.3a-12
debian 2.2.20-idepci
I have the following smb.conf:
---cut---
tux:/shr/pdfdropbox# more /etc/samba/smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = xxxxxx
netbios name = tux
server string = tux
kernel oplocks = No
encrypt passwords = Yes
guest account = Nobody
invalid users = root
# This tells samba to write log files per machine.
log file = /var/log/samba/%m
# This sets an alternate log level. Default is 2.
log level = 3
security = domain
; security = server
password server = xx.xx.xx.xx
printer driver file = /etc/samba/printers.def
socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY
local master = No
interfaces = xx.xx.xx.xx/255.255.255.0
wins support = No
character set = ISO8859-15
client code page = 850
[shr]
path = /shr
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
force user = nobody
public = yes
[pdf]
comment = PDF Printer
path = /var/tmp
create mask = 0600
guest ok = yes
printable = Yes
; browseable = No
print command = /usr/bin/printpdf.sh %s %U
lpq command =
lprm command =
printer driver = HP C LaserJet 4500-PS
printer driver location = \\%h\printer$
public = yes
[pdfA3]
comment = A3 PDF Printer
path = /var/tmp
create mask = 0600
guest ok = yes
printable = yes
print command = /usr/bin/printpdf.sh %s %U
lpq command =
lprm command =
printer driver = HP Color LaserJet 8550-PS
printer driver location = \\%h\printer$
public = yes
[printer$]
path = /etc/samba/printdrivers
guest ok = yes
read only = yes
public = yes
---cut---
This is the printpdf.sh:
---cut---
#!/bin/sh
# Simple script to convert a specified postscript file into a PDF document
# and place it in a location that is shared by the Samba server.
#
# Arguments:
# 1st - The name of the spool file
# 2nd - The users name for email
# We will create the pdf into a temporary file based upon the current date and
time.
# After we are finished, we'll rename it to a file with the same date, but
ending
# in .pdf. We do this because if a user tries to open a PDF that is still being
written,
# they will get a message that it is corrupt, when it is actually just not done
yet.
DATE=`date +%b%d-%H%M%S`
# The domain for e-mail
DOMAIN=xxxxxxx
# Directory in which to place the output
# Be sure this directory exists and is writable by the user that Samba
# is running as (for example, the nobody user)
OUTDIR=/shr/pdfdropbox
OUTFILE=PDF-$2-$DATE
cp $1 $OUTDIR/$OUTFILE.ps
ps2pdf $OUTDIR/$OUTFILE.ps $OUTDIR/$OUTFILE.temp
mv $OUTDIR/$OUTFILE.temp $OUTDIR/$OUTFILE.pdf
echo "Die PDF- Datei ist erstellt worden. Bitte speichern Sie den Anhang
und l?schen die Mail."| mutt -a $OUTDIR/$OUTFILE.pdf -s "PDF
erstellt" $2@$DOMAIN
#rm $OUTDIR/$OUTFILE.ps
#rm $1
##rm $OUTDIR/$OUTFILE.pdf
---cut---
the following happens "sometimes", which means approximately 3 - 5
times
a day:
A user prints over the printer pdf, but the saved postscript file is not
actually a postscript, it's a text-file (ending .ps) with the content of the
machines
logfile from /var/log/samba/$m. So it seams, that samba takes the wrong
input to write the file ...... ?!?!?!?!
Of course, after that, ps2pdf can't create the propper pdf and the
client get's an empty pdf (323 bytes).
When I restart the samba deamons (/etc/init.d/samba/restart) everything
works fine again until the next time ......
Everything else works, so the customer can look into the /shr share or
what ever .....
Clients are WinXP Pro
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Rgds.
