Printer sharing trouble

[MCCALL,DON (HP-USA,ex1)]

Alex,
Can you check your /etc/passwd file and /etc/group file and verify that the
uid and gid are actually 99 and 10000?  I have seen this same sort of
behavior when the uid or gid of the 'guest account' (by default user nobody)
was negative or > 65534...
You might also want to verify by adding the global smb.conf parameter
guest account = guestuser

and add guestuser to your /etc/passwd file, as a member of group 'users';
just as a test...
Hope this helps,
Don

Hi all,

Apologies for chasing this up, but I'm really stuck and from the responses
I've had from a couple of people privately, I thought I'd try and clarify a
little.

The problem is essentially that I have a printer who I can print to by
executing "lpr". This has been setup in /etc/printcap. However, when I share
this printer over SMB and try to print to it there, the following takes
place:

> server MISERVER1, service texas
> added interface ip=10.0.0.4 bcast=10.0.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
> Anonymous login successful
> Domain=[MI-GROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba pre-3.0.0]
> smb: \> print -
> code 0 opening remote file stdin-8335

log.smbd shows the following activity during that period:

> miserver1 (10.0.0.4) connect to service texas as user nobody \
> (uid=99, gid=10000) (pid 8324)
> ===============================================================
> INTERNAL ERROR: Signal 11 in pid 8324 (pre-3.0.0)
> Please read the file BUGS.txt in the distribution
> ===============================================================
> PANIC: internal error

Just to recap, the entire contents of smb.conf are at the end of this
message.

Thanks for all your help,
