Hello,
i have this strange problem with printing and server naming after upgrading a
server from
RH9 (running Samba 3.0.3 ) to Fedora Core 1 (3.0.7-2.FC1). Everything was working
before
the upgrade, but i immediately started noticing some peculiarities after restoring the
samba
files (/etc/samba, /var/cache/samba) and starting samba. The problem manifests by the
following:
- when i double click on a workstation printer created using point&print, the header
of the
window shows the ip number of the server instead of the server name. The printer
description on the local printers&faxes folder is right, though: ex: "laser on jimmy".
- creating a new printer using point&print, the new printer gets a description as
"laser on
192.168.2.19" (using the ip number, not the server name).
- If i am not validated on the domain, but just login to the server, accessing the
shared
printers directly asks me again for the username and password, and if i use the net
use
command, i notice that i am mapped to both \\server\ipc$ and \\192.168.2.19\ipc$
In all cases, point&print seems to be messed up to the point it can't install new
printer drivers
unless the drivers are already installed locally. Since i changed the dns domain name
of the
server, i first looked at the possibility of a dns configuration problem, but after
looking
everywhere i am stumped.
Any ideas?
A portion of my smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = JIMMY File Server
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
unix password sync = Yes
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 0
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
logon script = netlogon.bat
logon path = \\%L\%U\profile
logon drive = u:
domain logons = Yes
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
dns proxy = No
wins support = Yes
printer admin = @ntadmin
hosts allow = 192.168.2., 1.0.0., 127.
cups options = raw
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
create mask = 0600
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
browseable = No
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /etc/samba/drivers
write list = @ntadmin, root
force group = ntadmin
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775
guest ok = Yes
Thanks in advance,
Pedro
