Hi -
I am trying to set up a samba server on our solaris 2.8 box, which is to
be used primarily for printing in the first instance.
My smb.conf file is as follows:
[global]
comment = Music Samba %v
server string = Music Samba %v (%h)
workgroup = MUSIC
netbios name = VIXEN
log level = 2
log file = /usr/localhost/samba/var/samba.log.%m
max log size = 2000
debug timestamp = yes
load printers = yes
printcap name = /usr/localhost/samba/printcap
printing = sysv
print command = lp -c -d%p -s %s ; rm %s
printer admin = root
guest account = nobody
invalid users = root @root @sys
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
hosts allow = 129.215.200.
interfaces = 129.215.200.69/255.255.255.0
bind interfaces only = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
domain logons = no
domain master = no
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 34
wins support = no
encrypt passwords = yes
password level = 7
time server = true
locking = yes
lock directory = /usr/localhost/samba/var/locks
share modes = yes
security = user
logon path = \\%L\logon\%U
preserve case = yes
short preserve case = yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
printable = yes
path = /var/spool/samba
guest ok = yes
read only = yes
create mask = 0700
browseable = yes
The printcap file looks like this:
ml2
lp
lw1
If I print from vixen using smbclient, eveything works fine. For example:
vixen% smbclient //vixen/ml2
added interface ip=129.215.200.69 bcast=129.215.200.255
nmask=255.255.255.0
Password:
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[MUSIC] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.6]
However, if I try to add the printer from my windows XP box on the
network:
a) I can see the server (vixen) but no printers attached if I browse
b) If I try to use the printer name I get "Windows cannot connect to
printer"
In the samba log file it talks about NT Password did not match for user
I shouldn't need a password, though, should I if guest ok = yes?
Any help would be appreciated!!
Robert
