Hi All you Samba people.
I would like to use Samba for sharing my unix printers, and only that
- NO SHARES. I think the easy way to do this, is to have the same unix
account do all the printing, so I have made an account call PCPRINT,
with no password.
My problem: If I don't put a "+" into /etc/hosts.equiv the pcprint
user won't connect to the printer, instead my own account is used, and
the password for my account cannot be validated.
; SECURITY
alternate permissions = no
security = server
protocol = NT1
password level = 0
password server = wacs1
encrypt passwords = no
create mask = 0755
guest account = pcprint
null passwords = yes
hosts equiv = /etc/hosts.equiv
The Printer entry:
; PRINTING
lpq cache time = 10
printing = hpux
printcap name = /usr/local/samba/lib/printcap
load printers = yes
print command = /usr/bin/lp -d %p %s
lppause command = /usr/bin/lpalt %p-%j -p0
lpresume command = /usr/bin/lpalt %p-%j -p2
lpq command = /usr/bin/lpstat %p
lprm command = /usr/bin/cancel %p-%j
;The printer "share"
[printers]
comment = All Printers
browseable = no
printable = yes
public = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
guest account = pcprint
writable = no
create mode = 0700
path = /tmp
Should it not be possible to have printing work as one user, without
putting a "+" into /etc/hosts.equiv?
Kind regards
