[Samba] smbspool and printing

[jbuburuz]

Hi Folks,

Just looking for a little direction here.

1) windows ADS server with printers.
2) linux workstations which use smb to authenticate users to win ADS
server, and auto mounts there home directories through smb.

Question:
Printing from linux workstation?

I know I can use smbspool to print, but this requires user password. Can I
automate this so there is no need for password? Because the users  have
authenticated to windows server and thay have access to there files
through smb mount.

So can I do something like this.

Currently when a user logs in I have this:

#df
smb://win3kADSserver/home/user /homes

Now can I add something like this:

smb://win3kADSserver/printers /somewhere

Now point cups at this /somewhere/laser-jet...? Or do something else with
smbspool?

Just a note, the win3k server is running a lexmark accounting package,
therefore I need the users to print as their user name, and not as guest
for example.

As well to note I have seen where user name and password get embedded into
printers.conf/printcap file using smb to print, but I cannot have this. I
have a multi user system, and I do not want to restart lpd/cups everytime
a user logs in. Plus I don't like the fact that there is a passwd in a
clear text file, although only readable by root or sys group, this is not
a solution to me.

Any thoughts,
thanks

jerry

[Samba] win2003 access smb share

[jbuburuz]

Hi all,

What I got:

Samba running on a RH box, smb version 3.0.10-1
My smb.conf has the following:
Security = server

Windows 2003 AD server(Authentication server)

The samba server smb.conf points to the win2003 server for authentication.
This works great! Samba users can access there stuff(files, printers,
shares).

Problem:

The windows 2003 server cannot access shares? For example:

c:\net use x: \\samba\printers
---error network name not found ---

Although the XP clients have no problems, they can access access samba
shares, and they are authenticating with windows 2003 server.
I have also made the change to the windows 2003 server Digitally sign
communications disabled thinnking this might be the casue of the problem.

Some other notes: The windows 2003 server was a 2000 server, upgraded. I
know this is more of a windows problem, but the windows server can access
other 2003/2000 servers through net use x: \\someMSbox\share with no
problems. The win3k server cannot access any samba server share!

Is there another security policy edit I have to do to win3k?

Hope I provided enough detail.

Any help, thoughts is appreciated.

thanks,

jerry
