Package: smbclient Version: 2:3.2.0-3 Severity: normal Hi,
the upgrade to 2:3.2.0-3 broke SMB-based printing for me. My local CUPS server can no longer access the smb://... printers on our print server (which runs Samba 3.0.30). The log shows "Connection failed: NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED" (4x), then "Unable to connect to CIFS host, will retry in 60 seconds...", etc. Comparing the new and the old version of /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb using strace, I saw that the old version tries to connect on two ports, 445 and 139, while the new version only tries port 445. Our server accepts print jobs only via port 139; I always understood that this is acceptable behavior. (The new version of smbclient, for example, still works normally with our server, using port 139 if no "-p" option is given.) As a workaround I now have to specify port 139 explicitly in all DeviceURIs in /etc/cups/printers.conf. If this change in the behavior of the SMB backend was intentional then I suggest mentioning this in NEWS.Debian.gz to inform users that they may have to change their printer.conf if they want to access printers on Samba 3.0* servers. (Please downgrade this bug report to wishlist severity in this case.) -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-flo (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages smbclient depends on: ii libc6 2.7-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcap1 1:1.10-14 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libcomerr2 1.41.0-3 common error description library ii libkrb53 1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-3 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.10-2+lenny1 OpenLDAP libraries ii libncurses5 5.6+20080713-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpopt0 1.14-4 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libreadline5 5.2-3 GNU readline and history libraries ii libtalloc1 1.2.0~git20080616-1 hierarchical pool based memory all ii libwbclient0 2:3.2.0-3 client library for interfacing wit ii samba-common 2:3.2.0-3 Samba common files used by both th smbclient recommends no packages.
