lpd+samba question
is there any simple way to get data about workstation that prints using lpd from samba? what i need is to get IP/name of workstation that queued a print job to lpd subsystem through samba. or is the only way to change everything to print to lpd directly using lpd protocol? quite a bit of work but possible. I want to do accounting, not just how many pages are printed on each printer (done), but WHO printed it. No problem for local user, but not with samba. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: lpd+samba question
I didn't try by myself, but what about something like print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%p -J%J -U%I -r %f in smb.conf? I'm sorry to say that you additionally probably have to change /usr/src/usr.sbin/lpr/common_source/ctlinfo.c near line 87 to #define OTHER_USERID_CHARS -_. /* special chars valid in a userid */ and to recompile lpd: cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/lpr make clean make install At less I've to do so to make the dot . a valid character within a user name.

Samba question
Hi All I am sure there is a simple answer to this but I google has not overly helped. I am trying to mount a samba share that is on a FreeBSD 8.2 server to another FreeBSD 8.2 server, Mount_smbfs -I IP //user@host/share /mountpoint It then asks for a password, I enter the users password and then get mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Authentication error Dmesg is showing smb_co_lock: recursive lock for object 1 I have samba integrated with Active Directory, so I then thought ah maybe adding the user to AD would help, so I have done so using the same password etc still no joy, I have make sure the user has access rights on the samba share, restarted samba and the same error persists, any ideas ?

samba question
Hello to all. I have a FreeBSD 5.4 Stable machine on my network. I have recently installed smb,for the 2nd time from /usr/ports/net/samba3. I have setted up a basic configuration which will follow. My config is located in /usr/local/etc/smb.conf -- #=== Global Settings = [global] workgroup = local server string = Samba Server security = share hosts allow = 10.1.10.1/255.255.255.0 load printers = no user = nobody log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY dns proxy = no force directory mode = 777 null passwords = yes encrypt passwords = yes public = no security = share # Share Definitions == [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = no [public] comment = %h Shared Public Directory path = /public public = yes writable = yes write list = nobody,@nobody force group = nobody force user = nobody read only = no browsable = yes user = nobody,@nobody socket options = TCP_NODELAY - I have access to my freeBSD machine via windows. BUT I keep getting this weird mail from cron: Message 1: From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Oct 21 13:22:01 2005 Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2005 13:22:00 +0300 (EEST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Cron Daemon) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Cron [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/libexec/save-entropy X-Cron-Env: SHELL=/bin/sh X-Cron-Env: PATH=.:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin X-Cron-Env: HOME=/ X-Cron-Env: LOGNAME=operator X-Cron-Env: USER=operator smbd Abort trap nmbd The story is that the first time I installed samba I enabled it in my /etc/rc.conf writting echo smbd /usr/local/sbin/smbd -D echo nmbd /usr/local/sbin/nmbd -D I don't know if this has sth to do with the fact I was getting the mail I included previously, all the time. Also, when I dmesg, I was gotting this : pid 70515 (smbd), uid 1003: exited on signal 6 pid 70524 (smbd), uid 1003: exited on signal 6 pid 70535 (smbd), uid 1003: exited on signal 6 So I deinstalled samba. But I still gotted the mails (the same as the one above). I think that might be because of the rc.conf. So now that I 've istalled it again I edited rc.conf and have only this line concerning samba: #enable samba samba_enable=YES I do not get this often mails, but still I do. Does anybody have a clue about this? regards, Spen __ Yahoo!

Hi,
I once had the same problem, and I came up with the following patch:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/55539
(I have attached version of the patch that applies to FreeBSD 5.2.1,
otherwise please use the very last version of it (at the bottom of the
problem report page).
The following instructions assume that you have the system sources in
/usr/src
# cd /usr/src
# patch /path/to/fstab-vis.patch
Now either do a full buildworld cycle, or use the following commands
(untested):
# cd /usr/src/lib/libc
# make depend make make install clean
# cd /usr/src/share/man/man5
# make depend make make install clean
Now you can encode the spaces with the vis(1) utility:
vis -w
your mount point goes hereENTER
See also the updated fstab(5) man page.
If you try this patch, please tell me, whether it works for you, perhaps
someday I can get it committed.
Regards,
Simon

You could tweak Windows to enable unencrypted passwords, but I prefer enabling encrypted passwords in samba instead.

I believe I have ipfw disabled.. # ps -ax|grep ipfw # I start it up by doing # /usr/local/sbin/smbd -D ; /usr/local/sbin/nmbd -D and then only find nmbd running.. is that normal behavior? Also even after killing nmbd it comes back seemingly on its own. Sorry if I'm rambling on but I seem to be lost. Maybe I should instead try to copy the cups and samba execs in rc.d from their defaults and do a shutdown. Anyway...

Simple Samba Question(?)
[I am not currently subscribed to this mailing list, so please 'cc:' me in any replies. Thank you.] I have a simple home network with one Windows XP machine and one FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE machine. I am trying to set up a Samba share on the FreeBSD machine that the WinXP box can read/write to. I can get it to read the share, but I cannot seem to write to it. My config file is really simple: [global] workgroup = MYWORKGROUP netbios name = DRAGULA security = SHARE [Shared] path = /u1 read only = No guest ok = Yes Every time I try to write to the share, I get an Access Denied error. I'm using Samba 3.0a19. I had this working before I moved and now I cannot remember how I got it to work (I just remember it was a pain). I've also searched high and low all over the net and come up with nothing. Any help you all may be able to offer would be greatly appreciated. -Scott To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: Simple Samba Question(?)
Sorry for intervening into this thread, but I have some problems with permissions to subdirectories myself. A windows machine should be able to read and write its profiles to a directory called /usr/local/samba/profiles . This works ok for a user with root access to my samba server, but it ends up in access denied for any other user (they belong to a group called samba). How do I have to set up the permissions? And to Scott's problem: please see to remarks at the end of this mail!

Re: Simple Samba Question(?)
from years ago when I was setting this up and before samba supported encrypted auth, the registry change on the windows machines was to let the windows redirector send passwords *in* clear text as anything after win95b would only send encrypted auth info. If you setup the samba server to deal w/ encrypted passwords, you shouldn't need to change anything on the windows machines.. I do see one snippet about an XP machine in a domain: REGEDIT4 ; ; This registry key (gathered from the Samba-tng lists) is needed ; for a Windows XP client to join and logon to a Samba domain HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\netlogon\parameters RequireSignOrSeal=dword: hth, Dave On Wed, 25 Sep 2002 12:09:40 -0700 Scott R.

Also, does the user you are connecting with have the correct permissions to write to /u1? I have XP connecting to a samba server on FreeBSD 4.6.2, I can both read and write from my home directory.

As per someone's suggestion earlier, I applied the reg patch from /usr/local/share/doc/samba/Registry and ran the 'smbpasswd' command to re-assign the password for the user and it suddenly worked!

Re: Simple Samba Question(?)
Scott, 1) Do you use encrypted passwords or plain password in your Samba Server configuratioin? If you use plain password in samba server configuration, you may need to modify your registry in WindowXP? 2) Do you create the smb users and connect use the smbuser while not the system user.
