Hi All, I have a samba Server 3.0.14 installed on Ubuntu. I also have cups 1.1.23 installed. I have migrated an existing nt4 domain using this howto: http://de.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/ntmigration.html#id2570211 Samba is my PDC now, and no more windows servers are on the net. I have a network Printer Kyocera 1800+ Mita which is correctly configured via cups. I have preconfigured 3 Printers on for each paper feed, so Users just have to connect to the printer and then be able to print to the correct paper feed. I have then added the Printers to samba using this howto: http://de.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html#id2550472 I have 2 problems. 1. Although Printing a Test Page with Cups prints from the right Paper Feed, printing a Test Page from the Windows Client prints it from the default feeder. BUT with a very good response time and speed. IF I change the Client Side Drivers to use tray2 for this printer, The Response Time of PrintJobs is 4 times higher than before. Although Printing is possible, the time to print a document is so high, that users can go and grab a cup of coffee in between. Another Problem is that we have different user profiles accessing the server. The One side uses an Accounting Software, which keeps its database in flat files on the server. Every user opens the files and keeps them open. The Other users are using AutoDesk Inventor 10 which is used for AutoCad. This keeps the information for large Drawings in thousands of small files which are stored inside a directory. These Users are complaining about very long response times of the server. So my question is, is it possible to file access to one share in favor of other shares, something like QOS? Any Help is highly appreciated. I Have attached my smb.conf, so you can see how this is configured: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) # Date: 2005/11/22 17:14:43 # Global parameters [global] # aenderungen 28.12.05 os level = 33 security = user interfaces = 192.168.11.253 127.0.0.1 bind interfaces only = no unix charset = LOCALE workgroup = HELLER-DOM?NE netbios name = ITCHY passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://localhost log level = 2 syslog = 0 log file = /var/log/samba/%m max log size = 50000 smb ports = 135 445 name resolve order = hosts wins bcast socket address = 192.168.11.253 socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 addprinter command = /usr/bin/addprinter deleteprinter command = /usr/bin/removeprinter add user script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -m '%u' delete user script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-userdel '%u' add group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupadd '%g' delete group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupdel '%g' add user to group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -m '%u' '% g' delete user from group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -x '% u' '%g' set primary group script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-usermod -g '%g' '% u' add machine script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w '%u' logon script = HELLER1.cmd logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U logon drive = U: logon home = \\%L\%U domain logons = Yes domain master = Yes local master = Yes wins support = Yes ldap suffix = dc=heller,dc=de ldap admin dn = cn=Manager,dc=heller,dc=de ldap group suffix = ou=Groups ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap ldap machine suffix = ou=People ldap passwd sync = Yes ldap ssl = no ldap timeout = 20 ldap user suffix = ou=People,dc=heller,dc=de #ldapsam:trusted=yes idmap backend = ldap:ldap://localhost idmap uid = 1000-20000 idmap gid = 1000-20000 winbind nested groups = Yes printer admin = root, kudlek.c, maurer.k, maurer.g, meinzinger.u, frank.h, bruecks.m, trumpfheller.s, moser.m directory mask = 0777 ea support = Yes map acl inherit = Yes printing = cups printcap = cups strict locking = No profile acls = Yes time server = Yes # Add for fixing Bug 20051124 NM use sendfile = No [technik] comment = Alle Dokumente der Technik path = /samba/technik read only = No create mask = 0777 force create mode = 0777 force security mode = 0 [sekretariat] comment = Alle Dokumente des Sekretariats path = /samba/sekretariat read only = No create mask = 0777 force create mode = 0777 [konstruktion] comment = Alle Dokumente der Konstruktionsabteilung path = /samba/konstruktion read only = No create mask = 0777 force create mode = 0777 [cd-images] comment = Abgelegte Images von Installations CDs path = /samba/images read only = No [homes] comment = Benutzereigene Verzeichnisse path = /samba/users/%U valid users = %S read only = No browseable = No [printers] comment = Connected Printers path = /var/spool/samba guest ok = Yes printable = Yes profile acls = Yes browseable = No [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon admin users = root, Administrator guest ok = Yes locking = No [profiles] comment = Profilfreigabe path = /samba/users read only = No profile acls = Yes [profdata] comment = Profil Daten Freigabe path = /var/lib/samba/profdata read only = No profile acls = Yes [print$] comment = Druckertreiber path = /var/lib/samba/drivers write list = root, kudlek.c guest ok = Yes #profile acls = Yes [autoroute$] comment = Auto Route path = /samba/hidden/autoroute read only = No [INSTALL$] comment = Installationen path = /samba/hidden/install read only = No [msoprem$] comment = Microsoft Office Premium path = /samba/hidden/msoprem read only = No [fibu-est$] path = /samba/hidden/fibu-est read only = No create mask = 0777 force create mode = 0777 [fibu-heller$] path = /samba/hidden/fibu-heller read only = No create mask = 0777 force create mode = 0777 [factur$] path = /samba/hidden/factur read only = No create mask = 0777 force create mode = 0777 [fact32$] path = /samba/hidden/fact32 read only = No create mask = 0777 force create mode = 0777 [factur_est$] path = /samba/hidden/factur_est read only = No create mask = 0777 force create mode = 0777 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
