[Samba] "Unable to display security information" on windows printers security tab
Hello, I just installed RHEL3 on a brand new server, with samba and cups. The packages used are RHEL3 official RPMs samba-3.0.9-1.3E.5 and cups-1.1.17-13.3.32. I configured samba with security = ADS, and i can authenticate my users on our windows domain AD; everything works fine with files and shares, etc. When i configure a cups printer, and then export it to samba, i can add drivers thru the windows interface into the [print$] share as a printer administrator, connect to it, download and install drivers, print a test page. it just works like a charm. But... if i look in the printer properties window, i can't access the security information of the printer. when i click on the security tab, i get this message: "Unable to display security information". If i try to connect and auto install the printer drivers from a normal user account, i get this message: "Unable to connect. Access denied" I also tried with SERNET samba3 rpm version 3.0.20b, same problem. When browsing the archive of this list, i found a post describing the same problem, and Gerald (Jerry) Carter asked for the ouput of this command: [root@medellin cups]# rpcclient medellin -U CCI_74+administrateur -c 'getprinter X535-C3 3' Password: flags:[0x4] DACL ACL Num ACEs: 3 revision: 2 --- ACE type: ACCESS ALLOWED (0) flags: 2 Specific bits: 0x0 Permissions: 0xe0000000: Generic execute access Generic write access Generic read access SID: S-0-0 ACE type: ACCESS ALLOWED (0) flags: 9 Specific bits: 0x0 Permissions: 0x10000000: Generic all access SID: S-1-5-21-57989841-113007714-682003330-500 ACE type: ACCESS ALLOWED (0) flags: 2 Specific bits: 0x0 Permissions: 0x10000000: Generic all access SID: S-1-5-21-57989841-113007714-682003330-500 Owner SID: S-1-5-21-57989841-113007714-682003330-500 Does anyone know what cause this problem? Where should i look to understand and hopefully fix this problem? -- Gr?gory Benoist
