this is no problem, i prefer "local port" printers, cause we have
applications that have problems with "lanmanager" printers even on
other _windows_ boxes.

they run from different directories.
but the sysv init scripts in suse linux use a tool "startproc" to
start the daemons, and startproc seems to have some problems with daemons
that have the same name, even if they are located in different
directories.

yeah, i know, it took me some time to find this strange solution ;-)

i noticed these lines in log.smb when logging on from a w9x box:

dos_mode: ./login.exe
dos_mode returning hsa
[login.exe] attribs didn't match 13

after my changes these lines were:

dos_mode: ./login.exe
dos_mode returning ra

the third line disappeared, and now the script is executed from w9x
too.

oops, yes, i should do this...

i will.
