Hi,
The mapping of the domain user is done by idmap. Then no user has a mapping
with uid=0
I've set up a user in "printer admin" and "write list" options. And normaly
this user can add driver in print$ share. But the "add printer" icon doesn't
appear and all the options in "server properties" are disabled.
However, if I add in the LDAP directory the objectclass "PosixAccount"
and "uidNumber: 0" for this user. The "add printer" icon is available and all
the options in "server properties" are available too.
But in printing.html (in docs directory) I can find this :
In order to currently add a new driver to you Samba host, one of two conditions
must hold true:
The account used to connect to the Samba host must have a uid of 0 (i.e. a root
account)
The account used to connect to the Samba host must be a member of the printer
admin list.
Then if I understand a normal user is normaly able to add driver if he is a
member of "printer admin" only. It's not mandatory that the user be "root".
In my config (samba-3.0beta1), if the user is not root (uidNumber=0) He cannot
do anything with printers drivers !
Thank for your help,
Regards,
Raphael
