Hi all... I need to make a few queries to WINS, but am unsure how to do so. 'nmblookup' will allow me to enter an IP address and get information about the machine name, domain, and username. I want to do the opposite...I would like to have a tool that will take a username and return the IP address. I know this information is stored in WINS somehow, and I am capable of writing some Perl

I've experienced something like this, as well. Though I don't know if this will help, I would make sure that your NT username(s) are appropriately mapped to unix users. You may not be able to view the properties because the permissions/mapped user are mixed up. You can check this by doing a smbstatus - the user names listed as connected are the unix usernames that have been mapped to.

Nope, doesn't work, and I need the drivers to be available and read from the linux server. The PPD files do contain one which is specific to my printer and has worked on another machine. -----Original Message----- From: Blake Patton [mailto:pattonb@spots.ca] Sent: May 31, 2002 11:32 AM To: WEBSTER, Greg Subject: RE: [Samba] I will pay you $10US (via Paypal) out of my own pocket if you can

Boy this was a big scary headache! As well, I really wish the samba upgrade didn't wipe my changes to /etc/pam.d/samba and /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb (back them up instead, please). Situation: Upgrading Samba from 2.2.4 to 2.2.5. Samba is using winbindd for authentication. Problem: Under 2.2.4, smb.conf originally contained a password server specified by IP address: password server

I'm sure you've seen that subject line before.... I can't get Samba (via Swat) to see my CUPS printers at all. I've tried everything I can think of...the single network-connected printer is listed in CUPS and I've added it on the command-line (via printconf-tui). I can send a test page to it from the CUPS web-interface and also through the printconf-tui interface. I can

Seriously. I can't afford to be down much longer or I'm going to be in serious trouble. Running Redhat 7.2. Here's the scoop: Cups is installed and running. Samba is installed and running and is sharing files properly to 100+ people. I can print a test page from the Cups web-interface. I can print a test page by "cat foo | lpr" or "cat foo | lpr.cups" no

Hi all, I have uploaded the printer drivers succesfully on RedHat Linux/ Samba 2.2.4 server. I can download and print without any problems. But when I do Windows API call GetPrinter with PRINTER_INFO_2, the devmode in printer_info is always null. My code looks like HANDLE hPrinter=NULL; PRINTER_DEFAULTS pDefaults; pDefaults.DesiredAccess = PRINTER_ACCESS_USE;

Nope, close but no cigar. With 2.2.6Pre2 Word started to behave itself but Outlook acts as though landscape is a foreign concept(i.e everything prints portrait regardless of page setup). Spoolsv also crashes on the Win2K workstations requiring a manual restart of the spooler service. We will downgrade to 2.2.5 and try Jerry's patch. In another message Jerry talks about "running"

Hi, On Samba 3.0.2a on debian stable with a 2.6.5 kernel, each time I use APW to configure my printers, smbd takes more and more memory and the kernel does an Out of Memory (I have 512 Mo RAM). It's Xerox printers. Is the problem known (and corrected in 3.0.3rc1) or is it new ? Thanks for the answer. Cordialy, -- Yohann F.

hello i think always the same problem :( so i would like to put drivers on my samba server in $print in howto they said in section "Add printer wizard driver installation" chap 20 : " Do not click on Yes! Instead, click on No in the error dialog. Now you will be presented with the printer properties window. From here, the way to assign a driver to a printer is open. ->

hello list, after successfully playing around to get a working samba 3.0.1-PDC-LDAP-Suse9 configuration a new challenge takes place : scenario: suse9 with samba 3.0.1 as a member server in a NT4 controlled domain. winbind works as expected (thanks to documention authors). There seems to be no problem with file sharing, ACL is working properly (I'm using xfs filesystem). :-) so, now the

Using SuSE V8.0 Samba 2.2.7a on a small network I have a Lexmark laser printer attached to the Linux PC, using Cups 1.1.15. I was able to print from Linux OK, and some months ago had setup the Win NT PC to print across the network to the laser. So all was well. Recently I had a couple of problems with the NT machine (the usual BSOD's etc) also had a couple of problems with the SuSE PC

I'm getting really frustrated again...please help. Would someone please answer these questions and maybe I can figure out what is wrong with my installation: 1. I can add printers in CUPS, and they show up in Samba (after a 'service smb restart'). I can see them when I surf to \\waifer <file://\\waifer> (the name of the Samba server), but when I double-click on them there, it

Hi, I'm having difficulty configuring Printing with Samba 2.2.4 and Windows 2000 clients. The samba installations is running as a PDC against LDAP. All the sharing of network file systems seem to be working perfectly.. I have a share [printers] path = /usr/spool/samba guest ok = yes printable = yes browsable = no guest ok = yes writable =

On friday I was having a heck of a time using Samba...especially in regard to CUPS and printing. I posted on the list some big questions about my setup and what could be done with it, and was a little disheartened not to get an answer. Later that day, completely out of the blue, I received a long-distance call from John H. Terpstra, one of the Samba lead people. He must have tracked down my

Hi I hope somebody can help me with my driver uploading problem. I have done everything according to the printing docs (I think =) ), but I can't seem to be able to upload the driver via neither XP or W2k. The error I get when using XP is: "An error occured while copying file ......... Cannot copy file to destination directory. Click Retry to retry the operation or click Cancel to

I began playing around with 2.2.0a2 yesterday. The text docs have instructions for setting up the "print$" share and installing drivers for client download. This involves browsing to the samba share from a W2K or NT server, accessing the "printers" folder, and right clicking on each printer to install drivers. I've managed to get W2K/NT and Win98/95 drivers

I have gotten 'point-and-print' working, but there are a couple small issues/questions I am trying to get my grasp around: - rpcclient print-1201 -U root%secret -c 'enumdrivers' this lists the drivers twice (I saw one other post about this, without any followup) - When adding drivers via the Windows APW, after uploading the drivers and the APW closing - are you supposed to

Hi I have a RH7.2 server with 3 x LPT ports I have installed the following printers using the GUI printconfig Lp0 = HP1200 Lp1 = OKI320 Lp2 = OKI321 I have shared them via samba I can browse them using WinXP & Win2K by browsing the Linux box, looking at the printers and double clicking to open them, all is OK you would say, No. I have checked permissions on the /var/lpd directories and

I have been trying for 2 months to get my samba server to add machine accounts 'on the fly" I have added both of these to my smb.conf add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 102 -s /bin/false Neither of these seems to do anything. I have around 250 computers to add, so adding the machine
