I have been using swat for a really long time. This is the first I have ever REALLY caught it doing something wrong.
In the latest version of SAMBA, with swat compiled at the same time (with the explorer patch added afterward) I am fairly certain, I have found and issue. I am tooling along, I use swat to add a share. No problems, share works fine. About 10 minutes later, I start getting phone calls... about printing failing. I try with my linux machine... no problems, cups is working, must be samba. Samba config looks fine to me, I restart it, still no printing. Well, I get the people who MUST print now working using client side printing to cups (not pretty on Win9X) So, I start twiddling with the advanced printing area. Set to cups. misc option... commands all look good. Commit. Still no printers. I look at smb.conf. Hmmm, takes me about 3 minutes to deduce the problem. When SWAT wrote the smb.conf, set with printing = cups through SWAT, the declaration is _*GONE*_. Since there is #No default# setting. All printing goes away. I switch it to BSD temporarily... printing starts as I have BSD print emul going to for a few legacy *NIX machines. I look at the conf... it shows "printing = bsd" I think GREAT it just needed a change, I wait for printing to catch up. I use swat to change smb.conf to "printing = cups", printing falls over again. Looking through smb.conf... the *IS* no "printing =" anymore. I add it manually, restart samba. Voila We are good to go. Time to stay away from Swat for a bit. Anytime you commit anything through SWAT it removes the "printing = cups" unless it isn't set at "printing = cups" then it leaves it. This is a BIG pain. Any chance someone could look over it. I couldn't find a problem with a cursory check (using grep and a few patterns I sort of expected to find) and gained no insight. -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] The technology that is Stronger, better, faster: Linux
