Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have done this before, but for the life of me cannot get it to work today.
I am trying to setup SAMBA to allow non-technical users (one per site) to
add printer drivers as needed.
I am running Samba 3.0.24. Following are the relevant entries from smb.conf.
# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name
pid directory = /var/run/
workgroup = BACKUPS
netbios name = Backup
domain master = Yes
time server = yes
server string = Jefferson City Backup Server Number 1
username map = /usr/local/samba/lib/user.map
log level = 3
pritner admin = hallja, at wheel,root
use client driver = No
[STCLRI7500]
use client driver = No
comment = St. Charles Regional Office Copier
browseable = Yes
printable = Yes
guest OK = Yes
path = /var/spool/samba
printer = STCLRI7500
printer admin = @wheel,hallja,root
[print$]
comment = Printer Driver Download Area
use client driver = No
path = /var/spool/samba/drivers
browseable = Yes
guest ok = Yes
read only = Yes
admin list = root,hallja, at wheel
write list = hallja, at wheel,root
When I click on the Advanced Tab, the New Driver box is greyed out. From
what I have read, this is a permissions problem, but I have been unable to
find the problem.
Using myself as an example, I log into the server and my Windows user name
is mapped to hallja. hallja is a member of the @wheel group. hallja is
listed in the smbpasswd file. I have also tried mapping my Windows
username to root without any success. Mapping myself to hallja and root
yield the same result.
The directory /var/spool/samba/drivers exists, and within that directory,
I have created W32X86. Permissions on this folder are root:wheel
rwxr-xr-x.
Looking through the logs, I did not see any obvious errors. I have bumped
the logging up to level 5. Is there anything specific in the logs I
should be looking for?
And, what else should I be looking at?
Thanks in ad
