similar to: Samba / cups problem

OK, I just took my first non-root user live on my Samba 3.0.7 system. Printing is via cups, with drivers stored in the print$ share. This user is a local power user. She can add printers, or root can add them. Root can also print from them. If this user tries to print anything (a test page even) she gets a non-verbose error that looks like a permissions error. She can view the queues

I am using Samba PDC with OpenLDAP2 and smbldap-tools. As part of my logon.bat, I call a script called ifmember.exe. This script can list out the groups a user is a member of. It is reporting that my root user is a member of the group 'engr.' I don't know if this is a bug with ifmember.exe or if it's an issue in Samba or in LDAP. Here is some relevant data:

Hi, I've just moved a second Samba domain to LDAP -- it works great! However, the first domain is now dead in the water. It refuses to autenticate, and from the logs it looks like it's not find the SambaDomainName entry in the LDAP tree. Here is a diagram of how my LDAP tree is set up. dc=mycompany,dc=com |___ ou=computers |___ ou=people |___ ou=groups |___ sambaDomain=domain1 |___

Not sure if this is where I should ask about this, but if I try to run any of the smbldap-* scripts, I get the following kind of output: oink:/usr/local/sbin # ./smbldap-populate Using builtin directory structure erreur LDAP: Can't contact master ldap server (IO::Socket::INET: Bad protocol 'tcp') at /usr/local/sbin//smbldap_tools.pm line 153. I feel like this must be from a typo

Hi all, I've compiled 3.0.7 on a test box which also has an LDAP server running on it. This is the first time for me trying to use Samba with LDAP. I copied the IdealX scripts into /usr/local/sbin and edited the _config.pm file. It is attached at the bottom, stripped of comments. I then edited my smb.conf to the effect of the following: passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://localhost ldap

Hi all, I've got a share called [ACCOUNTING] with the following share definition: [ACCOUNTING] path = /data/samba/shares/Accounting valid users = @acct @"Domain Admins" browseable = yes public = no read only = no force group = acct Here is the permissions on the directory: oink:/data/samba/shares # ls -ld /data/samba/shares/Accounting drwxrwxr-x 9 root acct 4096 Nov 29 09:30

Hello, I have spent the afternoon learning how to configure my routers to allow directed-broadcast with an access list, so that I can allow two different domains on different subnets to trust each other. Now I can do a broadcast ping from either subnet to the other, and I can also do smbclient -L <remote_pdc> and get the shares, from one side. From the other side I cannot. Let me

I=92m using Samba 3.0.24 on Ubuntu Feisty. I=92m managing my printers = with CUPS. =20 =20 Just yesterday, one printer stopped being able to print through Samba. = This printer still prints fine directly from CUPS. When I try to send any = print job to the print via Samba, I get this: =20 [2008/04/08 11:15:58, 0] printing/printing.c:allocate_print_jobid(2262) allocate_print_jobid: failed

Can someone verify that testparm in 3.0.7 always reports the [printers] share as browseable = no ? I think this is a bug in 3.0.7. It might be affecting smbclient listing of printer shares too. Misty

Hi all, I have been working on this for days to no avail. I am unable to join any machine to my domain. I think the server's machine password got corrupted but don't know how to change it. From the PDC, I try: oink:/usr/local/src/samba-3.0.12/source # net join PDC Password: Could not connect to server CORPSRV The username or password was not correct. From a member server, I try:

I've got an unpatched W2K Pro system and I'm trying to join it to the 3.0.7 domain. I put in root and root's password for the domain administrator. The root user's uid is 0 and root is in Domain Users and works for logging into other workstations in the domain. W2K reports "User not found" when I try to join the domain. However, the machine account is indeed

While trying to solve my printer problem, I have come up with another question that Google is not helping me with. What happens to a print job after Samba submits it to Cups? Is it 'finished' even though Cups is still printing it? Is that why my users aren't seeing their print jobs, because Cups has already snatched them and Samba assumes they are done? I would much rather if

Some notes first: Fedora Core 1 (2 node HA cluster, heartbeat & drbd) Cups 1.1.20 Samba 3.0.4 400 Windows 2000/XP clients 50 print queues HP Laserjets, Xerox colour multifunctionals, Ricoh mulitfunctionals, HP DesignJet plotters 2000+ print jobs/day 8000+ pages/day 5GB + print data/day I have a custom printer accounting application that is run by samba when a print job arrives at

Has anybody done such a thing as this? I'm looking to make this transition as smooth as possible. I have the new fileserver up and running, and I'm using rsync to keep the Novell data current on the Samba server. Any words of advice on transferring the users and groups and permissions over to the new server in the least painful way possible? I have some idea that Novell uses LDAP

I've got a WinXP machine that was configured for local profiles. I have now joined that machine to the domain, but when I try to log in as a user, it tries to use a roaming profile. Fine, that's what I want anyway. But it doesn't do the smart thing and copy the user's local profile to roaming -- it gives an error instead. OK, no problem, I will change the type. I log in as

Hi all, I have been having the weirdest network browsing problems on my network the past week. Come to find out the wins.dat file got corrupted. Removing that file fixed everything. Because our systems typically have uptimes measured in months rather than days, and it is difficult for me to restart Samba except as a scheduled task (which I'm afraid to do because there are users who

Ok... here we go, I have a server running RH 7.3, samba 2.2.3a, and CUPS 1.1.14. All the printers we have are networked printers sitting off of Linksys printservers. On this server I am sharing all off our printers out via Samba. See my smb.conf file below. This server works perfectly. All printers are shared out successfully. Primary CUPS server: [global] workgroup = NEW

Our Samba server was recently the recipient of a major upgrade. I thought all the kinks were worked out, but apparently not. I think this is the first time I've tried to join a machine account to the domain since the upgrade. I've tried using smbldap-tools and also just using smbpasswd (I have my users in LDAP). I'll also say that 'net join' works just fine from my Samba

Hi, I recently did a complete upgrade and reinstall of one of our Samba servers. No problem, I backed up all the data, the Samba configuration files, and the secrets.tdb. Just compiled 3.0.8 on the new server (which has the same hostname), copied the smb.conf to /usr/local/samba/lib and copied th secrets.tdb to /usr/local/samba/private. Started Samba, did 'net getlocalsid' and it
