Well, I'm having some odd permissions created when I install a shared printer from a samba server. No matter what the remote host is I'll always end up with the following permissions on printers when installed on a client.
http://www.strangeness.org/security.jpg I've got the drivers to update perfectly and now this is my last hurdle in setting up the print server. It seems to work okay but I still don't like the way it creates the permissions. I've tried searching google and finding somewhat related issues but they never seem to get anywhere so I'm hoping someone can help me find the answer. Here's some related information about the server and config: samba 2.2.7 #======================= Global Settings ===================================== [global] workgroup = xxxxxxxxx netbios name = xxxxxxxx server string = Samba Server %v printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes printing = lprng guest account = nobody log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 0 security = domain password server = xxxxxxxxxx encrypt passwords = yes update encrypted = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 remote browse sync = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx local master = yes os level = 66 preferred master = yes wins server = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dns proxy = no show add printer wizard = yes printer admin = xxxxxxxx [print$] path = /var/spool/samba/printers guest ok = yes browseable = yes read only = yes ; since this share is configured as read only, then we need ; a 'write list'. Check the file system permissions to make ; sure this account can copy files to the share. If this ; is setup to a non-root account, then it should also exist ; as a 'printer admin' write list = jstrange [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = no writeable = no printable = yes -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
