Hello, I have been trying off and on over the last couple months to get printer drivers installed on the server side of samba. And have emailed the list with copious notes, got nowhere, and gave up. (I realize that is is a beta feature and am not complaining at all: I can live with out it) But; I have a little bit more info after trying to install the printer driver from a client and failing

Why does it run as root if there is a separate setting just for this, i.e. "root postexec"? I ran with "echo $USER > /tmp/err.txt" as the command and it spat out "root".

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Well I can't say enough about Mr. Terpstra's Samba 3.0 by Example for setting up a basic PDC.

I have but one issue with it really and it is very

I have Samba version 3.0.2a-3mdk with an LDAP backend. Works great but I can't seem to get user manager for domains to work with it. I'm thinking that perhaps it might be a samba bug that has probably since been corrected. Can anyone validate this idea?

Samba supports links now, right? I was recently experimenting with a setup for cross-platform access to a user's FireFox bookmarks. Unfortunately, FireFox overwrites the link to the bookmarks file on exit. How is this possible if Samba is interpreting the link correctly? Shouldn't the file that the bookmarks link points to be overwritten instead? Both the link and the file are on
