[Samba] Re: print$ worked in 3.0.7, broken after upgrading to 3.0.9
Well, my problem has changed. I rolled back to Samba 3.0.7 and the issue was still there, telling me that it was a case of corrupted printer drivers in the print$ share most likely. I tried to recopy them in there manually but that didn't work, so I deleted them and reinstalled the drivers using the WinXP Add Printer Driver Wizard. This worked and now all computers can download drivers automatically, but to my puzzlement the print$ share is still empty. I looked in the directory that it is connected with, /usr/local/samba/printers, but it was empty. So now the drivers are out there, but where? I'm going to examine the server but does anyone have any ideas or have seen this kind of behavior before?

[Samba] Re: Problem moving Samba shares to newly installed drive
cp -R will not preserve the permissions, cp -Rp will. Daniel wrote: Hello, I have been working on a RedHat machine that is a PDC for a Windows network running XP clients. The system has the following shares defined in /etc/samba/smb.conf: /home/netlogon /home/profiles /public (FYI /public is a symbolic link to /home/public) /home/share1 /home/share2 They are all on the /home partition which is on the main system drive, which is full. I have installed a second drive, made an ext2 file system, and mounted the drive as 1 large partition called /share. I then copied all the data from the /home partition to the /share drive via ( cp -R /home/* /share ). I then edited the paths for the shares listed above in /etc/samba/smb.conf, changing any references to /home to /share. I deleted the /public symbolic link, and changed the share path for that share to /share/public Restarting Samba resulted in the client machines (all running XP) logging in and receiving an error that their profiles could not be found. I quickly reverted everything back to the way it was to make sure all was well, which it was. I then tried just changing the location of the /public share, by changing the path in smb.conf from /public to /share/public, expecting that the users would be able to login, their home directories would be full, but the 'public' share would be on the new large drive at least. But doing just this also resulted in them receiving the error that their roaming profile could not be located. I had also tried not mounting the /home partition on the primary drive, and mounting the new drive ( /dev/sdb ) as /home expecting this would work and would result in me not needing to edit anything in /etc/samba/smb.conf - which was also wrong - I got the same results, profiles could not be found. So I reverted everything back to the old drive, but created a new share in smb.conf called 'new' and set its path to /share (the new drive) and this worked, it was happy to leave existing shares in the original location and have a new share in the new location. This at least gave the people a new spot to put their data, but was not what they were after. My questions are: 1) The first thing I noticed is that when I copied everything over from the old drive to the new, all the permissions, ownership group information was lost. Everything was owned by root. Manually changing the permissions for the /share/profile folder to make them match the original made no difference. What did I do wrong ( cp -R /home/* /share ) that did not copy the permissions / ownership info over? 2) Why would changing the location of the 'public' share result in people not being able to login, when their profiles and the 'netlogon' share were still defined as being on the old drive? 3) Searching for smb.conf resulted in several copies of it floating around the place, most of them in folders that included 'example' in the path. Is it possible that Samba could be looking at multiple copies of this? Where is Samba told which smb.conf to look at? 4) If you can spot where I have errored, please point it out. If I can provide more info, please let me know, I've tried to be as precise as possible. Thanks in advance.

WINS will certainly help, especially with the older Win98 machines. For Win2k and WinXP DNS works much better, especially if they have static IPs.

Subject: [Samba] Add printer wizard (XP)
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello list
I have been really wowed by samba 3 so far, i just have one last
mission to complete... please help!
I have samba 3.0.2a-SuSE installed on a SuSE 9.0 box. It uses winbind
to authenticate against a win server 2003 box - this seems to work
fine, users can own files and this is shown when getfacl is run on
the shares (owned by DOMAIN\User).
The last problem i have is adding printers...
The add printer wizard shows for the windows domain administrator,
and he can add a printer right untill the last screen of the wizard -
when he clicks the finish button, it shows the error:
Add Printer Wizard
Unable to Install Printer. Access is denied.
You need 2 things for this to work:
1.) a setting in smb.conf add printer command =
/path/to/smb-add-printer-script.sh
2.) an actual smb-add-printer-script.sh script in named path
So far, I don't know of anyone who has written a reliably working add
printer command script which works with CUPS.
By own efforts got stuck some time ago because of a weird re-naming
problem
(Samba re-named my newly created printer because it executed the script
a
2nd time somehow)
I will probably revisit that topic within the next few weeks.
The point is that the script needs to take the variables to run CUPS
lpadmin
from what the user filled into the Add Printer Wizard fields
The only thing i can think of is that he has no permission to add a
cups printer? The driver files are correctly copied across to PRINT$,
but then straight after this the error appears.
The usefulness of the APW for you (without the add printer
command) is
currently limited to add new drivers and for existing printqueues
Here is my smb.conf:
It misses the add printer command line

[Samba] Re: printing dead
What OS are your clients running? Running RedHat ES 3 with Samba 3.0.2-6.EL I've been having printing issues with my Win98 clients that do not affect my WinXP clients.

[Samba] Re: Urgent Help Please
I've been having issues with Win98 printing on RedHat ES 3, which is using Samba 3.0.2-6.ES. The WinXP computers print fine, but the Win98 ones tend to lose the print queue and I've noticed that even if they print job files tend to remain in the /var/spool/samba directory.

This morning however it all seems to have gone wrong, and the users on site can no longer print. When a user prints a document nothing comes out on the printer and further investigation in the Windows printers folder reveals the printers are sat with 'x' amount of jobs on them and constantly refreshing, opening the print queue on the users window machine reveals no jobs in the queue at all. I have tried all the usual, restarting the daemons and rebooting the machine, I even considered a removal and reinstall of Samba, the system logs show that the SMBD is having a panic each time a user tries to print or view the print queues. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can resolve this issue? We migrated this box from Windows due to stability problems, and I really don't want to have to go back to Windows for my print server.

[Samba] Re: samba oplocks ...
What exactly are you trying to configure locking for? Are you running a network where the same files may be accessed at the same time? Samba should have at least regular and level2 oplocks on be default. I don't believe kernel oplocks are on be default but they aren't needed unless you're sharing a file that the linux system also writes to. Keep in mind that for multi-user database stuff you do not want oplocks in use with your database files. I use the veto oplock files option to deal with that. All this and more can be found by typing 'man smb.conf' at the command line. victor mejia vazquez [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I've tried to configure samba to lock files bewteen windows and linux but i couldn't i've read a lot of messages here, but trere is no one that have something about the file smb.conf. i have this in my global secction but i doesn't work [global] workgroup = GMC create mask = 0777 os level = 16 directory mask = 0777 hosts allow = 192.168.0., 127. share modes = no max log size = 1000 lock directory = /tmp/samba/lock level2 oplocks = yes strict locking = yes kernel oplocks = Yes blocking locks = Yes fake oplocks = No oplocks = Yes level2 oplocks = Yes can anybody give me suggestions, maybe someone has te same problem.. thank you - Estas vacaciones... no viajes sól@: http://www.muchagente.com Ya.com ADSL Router Wi-Fi: Sólo 29,90 ?/mes + IVA*.

[Samba] Re: Win 98 loosing it.
I know you said you already checked power saving features, but was that in just Windows? Be sure to check in the CMOS settings for any power saving features as well. I had this happen in Win2k and it ended up being that the problematic computers had S3 set as the default in their APM settings when it should have been S1. This would be a probable cause if your motherboards have onboard NICs. Do you use DNS or WINS for name resolution? I did have some connection problems that were solved by using static IPs and statically defined entries in the zone file for the domain. Since the ping works but drive mappings are lost, it may indeed be a samba issue. Do you have the SO_KEEPALIVE setting in the string value for the socket options in your smb.conf file?

[Samba] Print Queues Dying!!
It started with one networked printer but it appears to have spread to another and now all networked printers occasionally go down. We have several JetDirect boxes and one NetGear PS101 printer server served by CUPS, the Windows computers access the print queues via Samba 3.0.2 on RedHat Enterprise Server 3. This is a very problematic issue and it is getting worse. We used this same type of set up with LPD at other installations without issue. Is this a known issue with Samba and CUPS or just a CUPS issue?
