[Samba] Automatic Printer Driver Download Access Denied

[Frank Ling]

Hi,

I have a problem for implementing automatic printer driver download on 
Samba 2.2.7a. When I tried to upload printer drivers from a Windows 2000 
client, I could see the printers were uploaded to the printer driver 
directory W32X86 under Unix. However, When I tried to apply those 
changes to the printer driver, I got “printer settings could not be 
saved, Access is denied”.

The samba is Samba 2.2.7a on a Linux. I tried on Solaris version also, 
but I got the same result. Here is some information from smb.conf:

[global]

printer admin = @rdp,atdadmin,help

[print$]
    path = /etc/samba/pdrivers
    guest ok = yes
    browseable = yes
    read only = yes
    write list = @rdp,help,atdadmin


5 rerun:/etc/samba-> ls -al
total 84
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root         4096 Jan  7 15:01 ./
drwxr-xr-x   72 root     root         8192 Jan  7 15:12 ../
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           20 Dec 11 02:32 lmhosts
drwxr-xr-x    3 atdadmin root         4096 Nov 15 14:24 pdrivers/

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        15571 Jan  7 15:01 smb.conf
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        10731 Oct 16 13:02 smb.conf.rpmnew
-rw-------    1 root     root          666 Dec 31 15:52 smbpasswd
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           97 Dec 11 02:32 smbusers

The samba was on a Windows 2000 active directory. It acted as a member 
server for files/printing. I used “atdadmin” account for doing uploading 
printer drivers from a Windows 2000 client machine.

Please help!
