Package: system-config-printer
Version: 1.5.11-4
Verifying set authentication on SAMBA printer installation fails due to
forced Kerberos use in "newprinter.py" file:
if auth_set:
# No prompting.
def do_auth (svr, shr, wg, un, pw):
return (group, user, passwd)
ctx = pysmb.smbc.Context (debug=debug, auth_fn=do_auth)
try:
ctx.optionUseKerberos = True
except AttributeError:
# requires pysmbc >= 1.0.12
pass
f = ctx.open ("smb://%s/%s" % (host, share),
os.O_RDWR, 0o777)
accessible = True
else:
# May need to prompt.

Kinit for myuser@MYDOMAIN to access MYSERVER failed: Cannot contact any KDC
for requested realm
Caught non-fatal exception. Traceback:
File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/newprinter.py", line 2861, in on_
btnSMBVerify_clicked
os.O_RDWR, 0o777)
smbc.PermissionError: (13, 'Permission denied')
Continuing anyway..
Disabling Kerberos use solves the problem and allows installation and
printing on the SAMBA printer:
sudo sed -i -e 's/ctx.optionUseKerberos = True/ctx.optionUseKerberos =
False/' /usr/share/system-config-printer/newprinter.py
Perhaps adding a checkbox to the "New Printer" dialog to allow
enable/disable of Kerberos use will be the best solution.
Best regards.
