I had to remove reference to some printer drivers via tdbtool on ntdrivers.tdb. 1. Do I need to restart smbd and nmbd to make these changes take effect? 2. If I restart smbd and nmbd will connected users get disconnected?

Hello, I am trying to migrate a samba printing server (with cups). (3.0.10fc3) by renaming it localhost=drlinux=the test machine newscribe=the production machine I did the following operations : 1/ Install a basic samba and cups 2/ copy all the configuration files and other from our running samba to our test server (including all tdb files ..) 3/ Adding the new server to the domain net rpc join

In /varcache/samba/ I have several .tdb files. Like brlock.tdb, locking.tdb, ntdrivers.tdb, etc. Excusing my ignorance, what are these files, and what do they do? And why must they be copied when migrating from one samba server to a new one?

Hi all, we've been moving an old Samba 2.2.x PDC install to a Samba 3.0.28 PDC install. We copied the ntdrivers.tdb and ntprinters.tdb from to old to the new server. After the migration, everything was just fine, except printing seemed to be somewhat slower. As more and more user logged on, the machine got really sluggish and printing took quite long. We figured out we've got bitten by: <http://ww...

...he cvs once and got REALLY scared. Unfortunately, I can't wait, so I've come up with a nasty hack to help us with querying samba for the details of installed printer drivers. It's filthy nasty perl, not really fit for human consumption, but it works. For now at least. If the format of ntdrivers.tdb changes, or if samba stops using it, this won't work anymore. This is a first hack. The LDIF style output is not right. But the info is there. Hopefully it will be of some use to some people. One question for the samba team though: When I run 'strings' against ntdrivers.tdb, I g...

...the correct drivers installed and it offers to install the drivers on my Windows client. It is mentionned in the documentation above that Samba should keep a database of which driver corresponds to which printer. It could not see any such database, at least not in the .tdb files, I cannot find any ntdrivers.tdb in the Samba private directory. I have set-up Samba with LDAP, is this supposed to go into LDAP? I am lost here. TIA. Olivier

...e've installed a samba-printserver at a customer using a large number of Nashuatec-printers. Most of them are Optra T164, formerly known as NRG P6025 PS3. In our setup we defined 1 user (printadmin) which manages all printers. All printusers are mapped to guest. User printadmin installed the printdrivers on the server and the clients download the driver during their first connection. So far everything works fine: everybody can print and download the drivers. But we also need to configure the driver: some printers have extra trays or an optional duplex module. That doesn't work: the settings ar...

...k with ten offices and about 150 printers. All printing is PostScript and goes to HP and Canon printers over lpd through custom 'if' filters which do accounting. To help this we're trying to automate the printer and driver registration processes, in particular make the nt_printers.tdb, ntdrivers.tdb (and ntforms.tdb?) files from some kind of textual config file which might look like this: pr-london1: hp2200 pr-newyork3: hp4000 ... Our goal is to bring our printing in line with our other configuration management, which has a central server of configs for routers, servers and so on. T...

...client and my question is, can anyone supply examples of how they did this, particular if you have scripted it? Clearly, I can copy the driver binaries to the correct Windows architecture directory defined with a path expression in print$, but what I am looking for is a way to correctly update ntdrivers.tdb, which seems to be the key ingredient to getting Samba to download drivers to PC clients. And just to be clear, my problem is not defining Samba printers, I can do that in my sleep. The problem really is managing the drivers so that they download transparently to each PC when the PC user...

...le is pdbedit tool which accesses local passdb.tdb file directly as long as user running this command has the necessary permissions. What I'm trying to find is a password-less equivalent of net rpc rights net rpc printer and a few others. Also, previously samba used ntprinters.tdb and ntdrivers.tdb with quite simple structure. So it was possible to install a printer to samba server from a windows box, dump the newly created entries from ntprinters.tdb and insert similar entries (by changing printer name and a few other similar things) to ntprinters.tdb on another samba machine without a...

Hi Folks, I'm part of a Novell department that is working on moving from Novell NDPS printing to Samba printing. I have been told that the Samba environment will have to be clustered to assure the same level of redundancy for printing. Does anyone have any pointers? Whether actual experience in this or a location of good documentation of the clustering process? Thanks for
