I'll look into that. b) GDI printers need bidirectional communication with the host. They might ask the host to perform an operation and get the result back. Thanks, this makes sense.

[Samba] Sharing GDI printers
Hi guys, Can someone explain why sharing a GDI printer (think Laserjet 1000/1005/1020 for example) is so unreliable? I'm not moaning about Samba - I just want to understand. I have seen this several times. I get the printer working fine under Linux, then print to it through Samba, also fine. But then I get a call a day later we can't print and when I get there the printer is paused (an no user has the privs to paus/resume it). The last case, with a Laserjet 1000, after it paused the first time, it simply wouldn't print again - ever. It could still print directly from the Linux box, but not through Samba. I also noticed that these printers wouldn't work properly through a hardware print server.

[Samba] Problems on FC4 with roaming profiles
Hi guys, I do seme help-out work for a company whose IT guys setup a FC4 box with Samba (fully up to date via YUM) running as a DC. The client desktops are all identical (at least after they got stolen and replaced). Profiles are roaming, so the users can log on on any machine. The software they run is fairly limited - Office 2003, Outlook with Communigate Pro plugin, Norman antivirus, Adobe reader. That's about it. The problem is that logging in gets slower and slower, logging out even more so and on a lot of machines just never finish. I have moved My Documents out of the profile and into the mapped home shares, to bring down the size of the profiles. This helps a little, but before long it slows down again. There is only one more thing I can think of - somehow cause samba to exclude the Outlook offline store (in $profile/Application Data/Microsoft/Outlook/Outlook/) but even if I delete it, log out, login to the server, make sure it's deleted there, log in again on the workstation, and logout without opening Outlook (so that store isn't created again), I still get the same problem. Still, the profiles tend to be under 2GB. The domain users have no prevs on their machines, so they can't mess up Windows. What bothers me even more is that I have the exact same smb.conf on a number of SUSE (9.1 through 10.0) and Debian Sarge/Etch servers, and on those networks I never have this problem, even where the machines are all different, use various bits of different software, the domain user account have local admin prevs, and profiles are up to 10GB. Is there any reason for this to happen? Is it just FC4's samba that's buggy (like just about everything else seems to be on FC4) or is there a real cause for this?

I've turned debugging on in the smb.conf file all the way up to level 10 and I still do not see what is causing my file transfers to abort. It consistently aborts copying files as small as 10 gigs even. I've read through the performance tuning section in the handbook and tried those options, but I'm still not having any luck. I tried copying the same data using ftp instead and did not have any problems so I do not think there is a physical networking problem. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate them. Elvar, have you had any luck with this? I'm having the same problem. NTbackup can write an 82gb file to the samba box, but I cannot copy it back to the Windows 2000 server to put it on an external drive to take it off-site. It doesn't happen between two win2k servers, and if I mount the samba share on another linux server, it also doesn't happen. But it happens between windows and samba, which leads me to believe it's an interoperability issue of sorts. I've updated the kernel, the network card driver (tg3 for a broadcom gigabit) as well as samba. Something else I notice, is if I copy via the samba server's onboard crappy 100mbit network, the problem doesn't occur. So I wonder if there's a transfer setting of sort that causes problems at high transfer rates that needs to be backed off a bit?

[Samba] weird permission problem
Hi all, I setup a DC for a company who until now have been using standalone WindowsXP Pro desktops in a workgroup. Initially I just added the users, standard setup. They all belong to the group users. Then they asked for a limited group to have access to the financial folders. So I added a group financial and limited access to users in the financial group. Now, for some reason, only the people in financial can print. In my log.smbd file I see the user connect and it says authentication succeeds, but the user gets an access denied. Has anyone seen this behaviour before? The setup is the standards SUSE 9.2 samba, with users in smbpasswd file. I've used SUSE 9.2 for many domain controllers before, all with printing, most with multiple groups, and I've never seen this before.

[Samba] Samba 2.2 to 3.0.9 DC upgrade problems
Hi all, I just replaced a client's SUSE 8.0/Samba 2.2 DC with a SUSE 9.2/Samba 3.0.9 DC. Drives were giving trouble, and since that box was a first attempt at a linux DC there was a lot of room for improvement. I copied the profiles and home directories over to the new machine, chowned them to the new users. I also did extracted the securid from the old DC and set it to the new one (using the net command). I expected the clients not to notice. Oh dear... First off, the Windows 98 clients, stupid as they are on a network, didn't notice at all. But the Windows 2000 and Windows XP Pro ones had trouble. They all logged in fine, but they all had all sorts of weird problems. For example, upon starting outlook, it did the whole install-the-user-specific-stuff routine you get when you run it for the first time. I ended up having to rename the profile and have it create a new one. Lot's of unhappy users Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? My suspicion, in hindsight, is that the local copy of the profile on each client, belongs to the domain user, as identified by it's userid (I'm sure I've seen windows refering to a Unix user 514 or something similar before), and that the user id has changed (which it has - SUSE 8.0 maps users from 500 up, 9.2 from 1000 up).

Hi Koenraad, I did post the LDAP athentication issue, but that was to a different list - post content was slightly different. SUSE offers LDAP authentication but I had trouble getting it setup. Apart from samba I need to have other things work with LDAP too.
