Hello guys,
I am having trouble to get CUPS printer share setup properly via samba.
The setup was done following Samba-HOWTO-Collection document, Chapter
7 (CUPS). The problem was when using *cupsaddsmb*, rpcclient can't seem
to connect to the server (localhost). The actual output is below :
============================[root@my-server samba]# cupsaddsmb -v -U johnny -a
Password for johnny required to access localhost via SAMBA:

It looks me the rpcclient cannot connect to the server (localhost), it
knows nowhere to send the configurations?

Hi guys, Just a follow-up. The problem is caused by nss_wins. The /var/log/messages shows following messages below when try to authenticate: Aug 18 13:22:47 my-server nss_wins[600]: [2003/08/18 13:22:47, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(38) Aug 18 13:22:47 my-server nss_wins[600]: ==============================================================Aug 18 13:22:47 my-server nss_wins[600]: [2003/08/18 13:22:47, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(39) Aug 18 13:22:47 my-server nss_wins[600]: INTERNAL ERROR: Signal 11 in pid 600 (2.2.8a) Aug 18 13:22:47 my-server nss_wins[600]: Please read the file BUGS.txt in the distribution Aug 18 13:22:47 my-server nss_wins[600]: [2003/08/18 13:22:47, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(41) Aug 18 13:22:47 my-server nss_wins[600]: ==============================================================Aug 18 13:22:47 my-server nss_wins[600]: [2003/08/18 13:22:47, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic(1094) Aug 18 13:22:47 my-server nss_wins[600]: PANIC: internal error It's on Red Hat 7.3, using Samba 2.2.8a. I am still stuck in this, it looked to be WINS problem but disabling WINS in samba didn't actually help :( Please help. Thanks alot Johnny
