Hi there I have a pretty strange problem that pops up once in a while. Running samba 2.2.7a having installed a Samba machine as password server sharing user info via NIS I have a couple of printers running here at our place. Several of them are only accessible to a select group of people so I defined the concerned printers share as:
[PrinterX] valid users = user1, user2, user3 .... ..... Things work fine only once in a while one of the people who is allowed to print to this share and has done so numerous times in the previous weeks calls up and says he/she is unable to print. When I check the logs on samba I get "Rejecting user 'XXXX': authentication failed " Reinstalling the printer on the client machine usually helps as well as a reboot of the concerned client. This has also happened versy seldom with shares once in a while. Concerned are W2000, XP and NT machines. Even though the person can not print anymore he/she can still access his/her private shares which are bound to proper authentication as well. Any ideas????
