similar to: LPRng: LPRng and Samba (fwd)

I've found a solution to this problem I think should work... but... doesn't. Take a look at the smb.conf man page: %u user name of the current service, if any. %U session user name (the user name that the client wanted, not necessarily the same as the one they got). ...so far so good. Well, LPRng handily includes a way to set who is printing the

Is there such a thing as a Samba logoff script? I am currently using [NETLOGON] for logon scripts, but for the adding and removing of printers via WSH, I'd prefer to also remove these printers after I log off. ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | novosirj@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/

Has anyone sucessfully compiled Samba 3 on HP-UX? I have had no luck so far. The LDFLAG that it uses, I believe -g, but I'd have to look, is not supported. ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | novosirj@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent. | IST/ACS - NJMS Medical

Hello all, Is there any way to stuff a more descriptive tag into a print job name? The jobs we're printing now are of the type: smbprn.003447.sdfasa I seem to remember a way to put the sending machine's name into the job name. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -adam University of Denver

Here is what I'm seeing after upgrading to 3.0.x: 1) Jobs no longer properly report their status, using LPRng's lpq. I see, instead, no listing for status and a listing for number of pages in the job. While that is also useful information, it does not allow me to act on jobs as I'd like to (resume/pause/etc). 2) Basically EVERY job that has ever printed via Samba on that printer

I upgraded from 2.2.12 (and kept my tdb files -- it is a possibility that this is a part of my problem, but let me run it by you anyway). I'm attempting to do a domain trust between my production domain and a test domain. However, on my production domain, I have the following problem: # /products/samba/bin/net rpc trustdom list -U novosirj Password: Trusted domains list: NWK-DEV

I run rpcclient without specifying an IP address and I get the following error: # /products/samba/bin/rpcclient //localhost -U novosirj Password: cli_full_connection: failed to connect to //LOCALHOST<20> (0.0.0.0) Cannot connect to server. Error was NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL ...the machine knows what localhost is otherwise: # telnet localhost Trying... Connected to localhost.umdnj.edu.

I have only this platform to try it on, but observe the following inconsistencies: (from the manpage for 'net'): RAP PRINTQ RAP PRINTQ LIST QUEUE_NAME Lists the specified print queue and print jobs on the server. If the QUEUE_NAME is omitted, all queues are listed. ...OK, so: [novosirj@njmsa ~]> /products/samba/bin/net rap printq list ljndemo No command: list

I get the following errors when building the torture suite under HP-UX 11i with HP AnsiC. They are actually somewhat similar to the errors that I get trying to build the whole package with gcc: Compiling torture/torture.c In file included from include/includes.h:109, from torture/torture.c:23: /usr/include/sys/socket.h:484: error: parse error before "sendfile"

I have a rather unique setup. I would like to simply use the existing UNIX /etc/passwd file for my authentication without having an smbpasswd file existing. does anyone know how to do this?

Hi, all. I'm trying to create a PDF queue... or, rather, I already have a homebrew solution I hacked together with an lprng filter, and it doesn't work too well. The solution at www.linuxgazette.com/issue72/bright.html, which uses the smb.conf and "print command" paramaters, appears to be much more elegant, but has one major shortfall: I don't see any way to get the

Hello, I am new to Linux and Samba. I am trying to print from a W98 box to a Linux printer. I am using Suse 7.2 and Samba 2.2.8a., and Linux is acting as a PDC. I created a user in Linux and put it in the users group and the lp group. The only way I got this user to print was changing the spool directory permissions (and all the files within it) from 0600 to 0770. BUT when I restarted Linux today,

Hi All, I installed cups and samba on redhat 9. Printer has been attached to the linux box . We can print from the linux box. We can print from windows clients too. But My problem is that when we print from windows, printer starts printing. But I want to hold print jobs instead. Then I want to go to cups web interface and release jobs. How can I do it? This is urgent. Pls let me know as soon

I believe it was expected that Samba would allow domain joins by people in the "admin group=" parameter -- I seem to remember reading that somewhere... I also seem to remember (and have discovered) that, no, it is in fact "root", or UID 0 only, who can accomplish this task. My question is, what are the ways around this? There are people in my organization who will be joining

You're going about this in the wrong way. Review the following piece of man-page: logon drive (G) This parameter specifies the local path to which the home directory will be connected (see logon home) and is only used by NT Workstations. Note that this option is only useful if Samba is set up as a logon server. Default:

I cannot for the life of me get Samba 3.0.1 to display any queue information for more than a second or so. It looks very much like bug #660, but the changes say that 660 is resolved and has been since pre2 of 3.0.1. If this is the same bug, I beg to differ! Please tell me what information would be of use. The environment is an HP-UX 11.11 machine, 9000 N-class PA-RISC 2.0 arch server. I am using

I have RTFM'd, so excuse me if I missed something in the manual. :) 1) When I attempt to add additional drivers (the inital driver worked just fine, when using the instructions in John's HOWTO), I get the following error: "The printer driver you selected is either not compatible with your current version of Windows, or it may not be available. Select a compatible driver from the

Here is a problem I posted to HP's forum on the DesignJet drivers for the 755cm, but something tells me someone clever here has already hacked around this or a similar printer and might know how to solve my problem: --- When installing drivers on a remote Samba server (ie. Windows NT emulation, and perhaps real NT as well), you are able to install printer drivers for a printer for various

Hi & sorry if this is too "newbie" of a question but I just can`t find a solution. I`m trying to use smbclient or at least smbmount, but both is not working. What I want to do is: copy files via command line (I will have to do that later with an automated script) from my Linux server to the NT Server (server1) in a directory called "photo library test" (I tried as well

I have been attempting to run the various permutations of Samba 3.0.x on my site now for a couple of weeks, and I can find no way to get it working properly. Either no one else is testing it, or there is something wrong with some manner of settings on my machines -- and they are of multiple classes adn different installs. I have one G70, one D380, and one 9000 N-class, and all of them exhibit this
