Re: [Samba] smbclient sending command to windows servers
This question has risen before. I have an idea I have never tried, but it sounds reasonable. Have a share on your windows client with a file called Run_it or somesuch. When this file is moved to another folder in the share, a daemon on the windows box spots the file in this folder and does whatever Run_it says to do. Run_it could just be a program name or could contain the entire program to run. But, this is just talk by an amateur.

Re: [Samba] smbprint
In my version of samba, smbprint is a shell script, which just calls smbclient with the appropriate parameters. The script is convoluted, but essentially the command that smbprint sends is something like this: cat thefile | /usr/bin/smbclient //$server/$service $password -U $server -N -P $logfile 21 You can also use smbclient to log onto the printer share and then put the local file to the printer share. Just make sure you have the file properly filtered! Now, I do believe there is an options for --with-smbclient or some such when you build samba.

Re: [Samba] smbmount not exiting
I find when calling a program from a bash script, the bash script always
waits for the called program to return. This is normal behavior as I
understand it.
You have to use the option to get the bash script to continue after
calling the program without the program exiting first.
eg.
!#/bin/bash
/bin/mount etc
more statements.
Now, this won't return the exit code of your mount attempt
You may have to capture the output of the mount command with
/bin/mount etc outputmessages 21
and then examine the contents of outputmessages to see if you are mounted.
This could be a nuisance.
You could also capture the output with:
output=`/bin/mount/etc `
and then examine the variable $output for strings suggesting success or
failure of the mount attempt.
Or, you could launch a daemon before you run the mount command.
The daemon would be a program which would run each second (sleep works
fine here) which checks for the mount and reports success, eg.
!#/bin/bash
while [ 1 -eq 1 ]
do
sleep 1
mount | grep \/mount\/dir
[ $? -eq 0 ] {
echo Mounted successfully
exit
}
done
If you call this checker, this might work:
!#/bin/bash
checker
mount etc
I am a big fan of simple scripts to solve simple problems.

Re: [Samba] Save read only using MS world
If you don't find an easy solution, you might try running a daemon on the samba server which scans the files in this directory and changes the files to read only. The find command sounds like just the thing for this job. Now, don't tell me you have tens of thousands of documents on this server and this will be too much overhead! Perhpas the create mode parameter might be of use here. Joel On Mon, Sep 08, 2003 at 08:35:10PM +0100, Simon Oexl wrote: Dear Sirs, I like to ask you for some help. I am fairly new to samba so I do not know if my intention will work. I like to set up a directory where I can save new documents only. Old documents should be read only.

Just some thoughts: You should have a guest account defined in your global. Try: guest account = ftp or guest account = root or guest account = some_regular_user or guest account = special_samba_user_you_create depending on your security needs. You need to have ports 137 and 139 open on your Redhat server. Is samba running on your server? Odd that you can't connect from you local box. Is xinetd trying to control samba?

Is is established yet if your setup is using the lexmark supplied software or cups drivers? It may not really matter. If the printer is working fine locally, then it seems to be a problem with samba. What you have to do is figure out which queue is accepting jobs on your server, locally, then set up your samba share to direct jobs to that queue. You might look at /var/spool/lpd. The print queues usually hang out there. Look for a print queue which is controlling your printer, and use that in your samba share. Your system seems to be generating its printcap file dynamically. This sounds like something with which I contended when I used RH at one time. This is one of the many advances in linux which just makes it harder to fix problems. I didn't get any results with network printing until I disabled that automatic generation of the printcap. There is some sort of printing frontend which does this. I would get rid of it and set up a regular printcap file, or else try to edit the configuration file this printing frontend is using.

Re: [Samba] I've always HATED printing with Samba
A raw queue has no filter, it just sends the job straight to the printer. Since you are using cups and have this frontend for printing which recreates your /etc/printcap file on the fly, I am not sure how you would go about creating a raw queue. You might try fooling around with printer/settings and see if you can create a raw queue with it. It may already exist. If it does, just send your print jobs to it from your windows clients. If you want to not use the z53 client software on windows, you will need to set up a queue which uses the z53.sh as the filter on your linux server. Again, printer/settings or whatever might let you do this. I sent a copy of my printcap which does that.

Re: [Samba] 2 issues using SAMBA as a print server
Any suggestions as how to give the Windows XP permissions to see and delete their own jobs? This may depend on which printing system you have on the linux box. A lot of people seem to be using cups, about which I know nothing. I use lprng. There is a file called lpd.perms, which hangs out in /etc on my system. This is the most convoluted, unix like configuration file I have ever seen. But, it is flexible. See man lpd.perms for info about it. If you don't like the man pager, then: man -t lpd.perms junk.ps ps2pdf junk.ps junk.pdf acroread junk.pdf To make everything work as expected, without any particular security or usage limitation, I just put: DEFAULT ACCEPT as the first and only line in my lpd.perms file.

Re: [Samba] Printing multiple copies
No! But if I print from Acrobat Reader is see a popup where the system say that the printing support only 1 print copy. Word or Excel doesn't show anythink This really sounds like something in the printer driver on your client. I don't see this problem with XP home or XP pro. I would try to use a different driver, say the HP laserjet III plus with postscript or some such, and run the same experiment as before. (No paper in the printer). Look at your /tmp/JunkJ file for how many jobs got sent. Look at the queue on the windows client. If there are multiple files being sent, then that would prove that the printer driver is the problem. BTW, that would also be a solution. Get a linux driver for your printer that accepts postscript (all of them do) and your printer problems are solved forever, at least with this printer.

Re: [Samba] Printing multiple copies
Well, I just tried an experiment. With XP Home, printing to a postscript printer on my linux box, the job is sent as multiple, sequential postscript files, each file being just one copy. Ergo, samba thinks it has received multiple different print jobs, not one job consisting of multiple copies. This is different from what I found before, suggesting that new print drivers on the windows box (XP) handle multiple copies differently.

And, it captures the file name sent from windows (%J). The file name is truncated to remove a Microsoft prefix sent with each filename. If you have cups, I can't offer anymore advice. With cups you can't ( I think) change the print commands in smb.conf. Although, there must be a way to change the print commands in cups elsewhere.

Re: [Samba] Printing multiple copies
I don't know much about BSD printing. It looks like your client is only sending one copy, since the single copy and twelve copy print job are the same size. When I send multiple copies with my print job, a pop up box on the screen shows each job being sent. Do you see this? One trick you might try is to remove the paper from your printer and send a multiple copy print job. On my XP home box, the windows print queue shows each individual print job or copy. If you used my print command, you will see a nice file name, not the silly smbd name. So, if I print two copies, two print jobs appear in the queue. (This is not how it was in the old days when the postscript print file had the data to print multiple copies.) If you only see one print job, this would likely be a local configuration problem on your XP home box. Well, I have got to get to my day job. Good luck. I'll try to read my email again in about 10 hours.

Re: [Samba] I've always HATED printing with Samba
OK. Here is what works for me. As usual, your mileage may vary.
I assume you have installed the software for the lexmarkz53 on your
linux server. I assume you can print a test page. If you can't, likely
you are not printing the testpage to a raw queue. The testpage goes to a
raw queue while the real print jobs go to a filtered queue, in my setup.
I assume you know how to run the lexmark setup program which generates the
configuration file.
lexmark supplies print filters that work fine in linux to drive the z53.
I wrote a tutorial on print filters some time ago. I used this filter
as part of that writeup. Here is part of that tutorial.
Start Tutorial=
There is a shell script called z53.sh. This is what your printcap file
should be pointing to.
/usr/local/lexmark/z53/z53.sh
This print filter accepts either pdf files, text files, or postscript files.
Then, using ghostscript, it converts them into a ppm format (whatever that
is), then it pipes them to the real filter, which only can come from
lexmark, z53, and then to your printer.
Here is the z53.sh script:
2 #!/bin/bash
3 DEBUG=0
4 PDIR=/usr/local/lexmark/z53
5 TMPFILE=`mktemp /tmp/lexmark.XX`
6
7 # lxgps is a little utility used to setup the
8 # Ghostscript parameters. It sets two parameters
9 # in particular: resolution and paper size. It
10 # determines what to set these to by reading the
11 # configuration file that is passed in.
12 GSPARMS=`$PDIR/lxacgsparm z53.conf`
13
14 runz53 ()
15 {
16 cat $TMPFILE
17 file -b $TMPFILE | grep -i postscript /dev/null
18 if [ $? -eq 0 ]
19 gs -q -dNOPAUSE $GSPARMS -sDEVICE=ppmraw
-sOutputFile=- $TMPFILE | $PDIR/z53 --config
z53.conf --dotcounts
20 else
21 file -b $TMPFILE | grep -i PDF /dev/null
22 if [ $? -eq 0 ]
23 gs -q -dNOPAUSE $GSPARMS -sDEVICE=ppmraw
-sOutputFile=- $TMPFILE | $PDIR/z53 --config
z53.conf --dotcounts
24else
25 enscript -B -o - $TMPFILE | gs -q -dNOPAUSE
$GSPARMS -sDEVICE=ppmraw -sOutputF ile=- -
| $PDIR/z53 --output blackonly --config z53.conf --dotcounts
26 fi
27 fi
28 /bin/rm -f $TMPFILE
29 }
30
31
32 runz53 2 /dev/null
Some of the lines are just too long to fit so they wrap around. But this
shouldn't cause us much confusion.
Let's walk through this program. First, the defined constants at the top,
lines 3,4,5.
Line 3 DEBUG = 0, may have no use, since it is not referred to elsewhere
in the script.
Line 4 PDIR simply points to where the lexmark software is installed.
Line 5 TMPFILE used by the mktemp command to generate a random name
for a file to hold the print job before it is filtered. This file is
needed only because this filter will handle pdf files, which need random
access to be properly processed. Text and postscript files could just
be piped.
Line 12 GSPARMS holds the ghostscript parameters based on what data the
user has given the lexmark setup program regarding paper size, resolution,
color vs black and white. At my current setting, echo $GSPARMS returns
-r600 -g5100x6600
Line 32 The script begins here. Why they used a subroutine isn't obvious
to me, but maybe it helps to redirect errors to /dev/null. So, go to
line 14.
line 15: This simply puts the file sent to the print filter all in the
$TMPFILE. Note that standard input is assumed but the file is redirected
to $TMPFILE.
Lines 17 to 24 are repetitive, just checking to see if the file is
either PDF or Postscript. If neither is the case, then enscript is
invoked to produce a postscript file. Now, I have never had a problem
with a linux application sending a PDF file to my printer. Acrobat prints
in postscript. And, since enscript -Z doesn't convert postscript files,
these lines could all be just left out.
The gs command just converts a postscript file to a ppmraw format, which is
then piped to the lexmark supplied driver for this printer with the
appropriate parameters. Let's rewrite this thing:
#!/bin/bash
PDIR=/usr/local/lexmark/z53
GSPARMS=`$PDIR/lxacgsparm z53.conf`
enscript -ZB -o - | gs -q -dNOPAUSE $GSPARMS -sDEVICE=ppmraw \
-sOutputFile=- - | $PDIR/z53 --config z53.conf
--dotcounts
Believe it or not, this works fine, both with text files and postscript
files, the only two types we expect to see coming to our printer. The
only problem might be the --output blackonly parameter which I left off
so I could get color printing. And, I am not sure where the errors are going
to be sent, if any. The -q parameter suppresses messages from gs.
End tutorial==
OK.
Re: [Samba] Printing multiple copies
This question came up a while back. On my system, where I have a postscript printer attached to a linux boxr. I send all print jobs from windows clients formated for the HP laserjet III + or whatever. When you request 3 copies, the postscript code itself has the code for three copies in it. Printing three copies from a KDE app (I forget which one) also generated code for three copies. So, in my setup, samba has nothing to do with generating multiple copies.

Try, as root, iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT

Re: [Samba] Printing Through Samba From Windows

Re: [Samba] Max Print Jobs Problem
Just thinking out loud. Have you tried other values for max print jobs like 5 or 10 to see if that works. If 5 or 10 works, how about 1001? Are you sure it is samba which is doing this? Could the printing software of the underlying system be responsible. Have you messed arounded with the source and recompiled? For example, the printing.c file has variables which return the max print job number and the print queue size. Maybe try printing these out and seeing if the max # of print jobs is really what you specify. Maybe disable the subroutine which checks for max no of jobs.

Re: [Samba] question
Please see my post for the share printer thread for some information on your printing question. Oh, and I have set up Samba to load automatically when Linux is started. The best way is to use the startup scripts provided for each daemon with adjusting the files in rc[0-6].d to properly start and stop these daemons as you change run levels (start and stop the machine, etc.) To start any daemon automatically with the startup scripts, you have to mess around either with some GUI configuration tool (settings), or the files in /etc/rc.d/rc[0-6].d. If all else fails, just put these commands in rc.local /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D To find the files, locate rc.local and which smbd and which nmbd might help. Note that the startup scripts have beome increasingly complex over the last few years. Even for someone who knows some bash they are very difficult to follow, since each vendor does things suprisingly different. This home brew script does a fine job for me: #!/bin/bash case $1 in start) killall smbd killall nmbd /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D ;; stop) killall smbd killall nmbd ;; reload) kill -SIGHUP `cat /usr/local/samba/var/locks/smbd.pid` kill -SIGHUP `cat /usr/local/samba/var/locks/nmbd.pid` ;; *) echo Usage: echo start stop reload ;; esac exit 0 Joel -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Re: [Samba] Slow windows - cups print (Facts discovered)
I am not really sure of your set up. I assume you have installed the drivers on the windows client. And, I assume you send the job to a raw queue on the linux box. If not, maybe your linux filter is removing colors. I would look at the driver configuration on the windows client and make sure you don't have some option checked for BW only. You might print the job to a file, send it over to the linux box, and open it with gv, and see if you have color. Sometimes, depending on your setup, the test page goes to a different queue than the real print jobs.

Re: [Samba] LAN Browsing shows IP Addresses instead of Computer Names.
I am no expert and am certainly rusty on this sort of question. Just some ideas. I do not know if the suggestions below are really what you need. However, how do you think that samba is supposed to do reverse lookups to find the name corresponding to an ip number? 1. Have you walked through DIAGNOSIS.txt? 2. What is this router you have that keeps changing ip addresses? Very inconvenient. It is not hard to set up a dhcp server on a linux box. The nice part is that you can ensure that the same ip number is given every time to the same computer, using the identifying number on the network card. 3. If you do #2, then you can use [lm]hosts files on both the linux and windows boxes to associate names and ip addresses. 4. The easiest thing might be to install a wins server. This just involves adding a few lines to smb.conf on one linux box. Here is what I have in mine: name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast host netbios name = JHAMMER6 os level = 100 preferred master = True domain master = True wins support = Yes This makes this machine the wins server. Point your other machines, to this one. This requires a wins server = parameter in the linux boxes and you can muck around with the menus in windows to point to the wins server. 5. Maybe you have a bad name resolve order parameter? The meaning of the options above is: lmhosts = /etc/hosts file wins= wins server bcast = broadcast host= DNS lookup Do you have the bcast option in your smb.conf file? 6. If you want to spend many happy hours, you might consider setting up a DNS server, provided you have set up a DHCP server to ensure the same ip's are given each time to the same computers. 7. Can you tell your router to always give the same number to each of your computers? Joel On Sat, Jun 14, 2003 at 11:35:42PM -0700, Mega Spaz wrote: I'm trying to figure out how I can have my lan browser display computer names instead of IP Addresses. I think the ip addresses are generated by my router since if I add a new computer, the ip addresses will be different for each computer. anyway let me give you the specs first. Running Samba 2.2.8a-1 on Red Hat 7.3. I have not set up WINS or DNS at all. I have set up lisarc to use nmblookup. I'm assuming that my network is using broadcasting to get computers in my LAN since i have not set up any computer names in hosts or lmhosts. The current set up works right now in that computers come up and can be browsed independant of the ip addresses assigned to the computers. ie. if computer Tron is up on the network, and then I boot up Sark, Sark will show up at the first next broadcast. but the computers show up in konqueror as ip addresses, not as Tron and Sark. My very old first setup attempt had me manually adding ip addresses and names manually in the /etc/hosts file. but that would mess up the lan browsing if another new computer was added to the network. So if Sark is 192.168.0.2 and Tron is 192.168.0.3 and let's say my brother brings his laptop and i put his laptop on the network, the ip addresses on the network will change to something like Sark = 192.168.0.3, Tron = 192.168.0.2 and my brother's laptop maybe something like Bros_comp = 192.168.0.4. but the /etc/hosts file will have the old assignments which really messes up the browsing part. Anyway right now i think i have it set up almost right since i can browse the network and the computers on the network will be found no matter the time they are actually booted up, but ip addresses in the lan browsing isn't very useful and I would like to see the computer names displayed in the lan browsing in konqueror. thank you for your patience, time, and any help you can provide.

Marv, You do need to run configure for a source tarball... you just haven't found the config script yet. :-) In the samba-2.2.8a directory, go into the directory labeled source. You'll find the configure script there. My advice is, if this is the first time installing Samba, run your install thusly: #samba-2.2.8a ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba #samba-2.2.8a make #samba-2.2.8a make install The reason I suggest setting the prefix as /usr/local/samba and no other config options, is that this will put samba in a singular space and allow you time to monkey with it in a closed directory. Then when your comfortable with samba and it's files and configurations, you can wipe the /usr/local/samba dir (thus trashing ALL of the files) and run the configure with WHATEVER path your heart desires. My advice is something like this install: #samba-2.2.8a ./configure --prefix=/usr --configdir=/etc/samba --what-ever-other-config-op tions-you-want #samba-2.2.8a make #samba-2.2.8a find /* samba1 #samba-2.2.8a make install #samba-2.2.8a find /* samba2 #samba-2.2.8a diff samba1 samba2 samba-installed Why the two find and diff statements? Well, you'll see that I offer /usr as the prefix dir, you'r files will be scattered. Doing a find before AND after the install and diffing the two find files will create a file (called samba-installed) with the locations of all the samba files. quite handy. If you don't feel comfortable with that, and want an easier way to manage the install (and if necessary the UNinstall) of Samba, you can download the latest samba SRPM file from Samba.org here: http://us2.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/RedHat/SRPMS/samba-2.2.8a -1.s rc.rpm Just install rpm-build from the 7.3 RPMS, and after downloading the src.rpm, run: #dir rpm -ivh samba-2.2.8a-1.src.rpm then change to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS and edit the samba.spec file to make the config changes you want. Then: #SPECS rpm -bb samba.spec This will place the samba-common, samba-client, samba-server samba-swat RPMS in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 and you can install the latest samba version from samba.org via RPM. Lastly, I offer up the suggestion of obtaining Using Samba from O'Reilly Assc. A VERY handy book for samba admins of any level. And the latest edition covers Samba 3.

For example, here is all I have in mind: #!/bin/bash case $1 in start) killall smbd killall nmbd /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D ;; stop) killall smbd killall nmbd ;; reload) kill -SIGHUP `cat /usr/local/samba/var/locks/smbd.pid` kill -SIGHUP `cat /usr/local/samba/var/locks/nmbd.pid` ;; *) echo Usage: echo start stop reload ;; esac exit 0 To find where your binaries are, just run: which smbd which nmbd To find where your logs and such are, this MIGHT help: strings `which smbd` | grep samba You can modify this to take into account your own configuration. You can also run nmbd from the command line and increase debugging to see what is happening in case nmbd is crashing. You can also look in your nmbd log.

Re: [Samba] Limiting Users
Well, all I can really tell you is that the best thing I ever did was to learn the bash shell and bash shell scripting. It takes a while, but since my computer (linux) uses the bash shell, it is well worth the effort. You could use any scripting language your computer supports. Once you get the feel for scripting, then it wouldn't be too hard to use samba's resources, like the variables passed when a user logs on and smbstatus. And, learn about the preexec parameter. Joel I know very little about shell scripting. Any information I should be looking for in particular?

Re: [Samba] Printing. The REAL jobname. :)
The windows file name is passed in the %J variable to the samba server. I believe %J is the banner page contents. So, the share below does for me what you seem to want to do. It also makes the windows file name appear in the queue. The stuff with a=`echo etc. ` is to truncate the file name, since some windows apps send a long prefix before the file name. Now, if you are using CUPS, I just don't know. You can't specify printing commands for CUPS in the share, they say.

Re: [Samba] Weird permissions on samba shared printers
No real idea but: This manage printers and manage documents stuff. Is this anything that is reported by unix or lprng? What does manage documents mean? The ability to run lprm and the like. What does manage printers mean? The ability to run queueresume or queuepause? I don't know how samba and lprng could report this information.

Re: [Samba] /var/spool/samba full of print jobs
I can't really help with cups specifically, but, you may need to have a command in your smb.conf to remove print jobs from the samba queue. For example, here is a typical print command with lprng: print command = /usr/bin/lpr -Plp -J'%J' %s; rm %s If you can't do this, you could run a cron job which cleans up the the spool directory from time to time.

Re: [Samba] nmblookup comand
There are differences in how nmbd and smbclient look up other computers. For example, look in your smb.conf. Here is what I have in mind: [global] name resolve order = wins bcast hosts lmhosts hosts is the DNS server and lmhosts is the lmhost file on your linux box. So, smbclient will try all of these before it gives up. I am very vague on the details, but perhaps nmbd is failing because there is no nmbd daemon running on the target machine? nmbd does not consult all these other resources for finding a host, methinks. Your nmbd fails after making one query. smbclient will try all the above resources before giving up. It might be nice to compare a debug output with smbclient, and see how smbclient finds the other host. querying pc8686 on 134.247.255.255 Sending a packet of len 50 to (134.247.255.255) on port 137 Sending a packet of len 50 to (134.247.255.255) on port 137 Sending a packet of len 50 to (134.247.255.255) on port 137 name_query failed to find name pc8686 Joel On Tue, Apr 01, 2003 at 05:38:48PM +0200, Setzensack Stefan wrote: Dear Ladies and Gentlemens, i have a problem, the nmblookup command have an error, but the smbclient command have no error.
