Dear all, I am struggling to know how exactly SAMBA is working. I had a problem last week to save default preferences of printers which now seems to be ok. What I am trying to understand is how is it working because I am not seeing the file ntprinters.tdb changing , at least not in real time. I checked in /var/cache/samba and /var/lib/samba. Does anyone know, when changing print server default preferences, when is the file updated ? Tnx, it is a great list KOnrad

What specifically do you want to know about the printing implementation in Samba? cheers, jerry - -- ====================================================================Samba ------- http://www.samba.org Likewise Software --------- http://www.likewisesoftware.com "What man is a man who does not make the world better?" --Balian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFImIYtIR7qMdg1EfYRAkGoAKCBAooHO5vCgEieZW4HlQ05tnryQwCgzHEY lisH8YJlD78FKVB0BnZRz+c=VX3M -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
