Hi!

Trying to trace down a problem with printer sharing.  I don't see 
anything glaringly obvious with my smb.conf.  I am using LDAP and CUPS.

Using a Windoze client, accessing a printer I receive the friendly 
"Access denied, unable to connect".  Checking the Samba logs, I find:

[2008/11/07 18:26:08,  0] param/loadparm.c:process_usershare_file(8268)
  process_usershare_file: share name 
::{2227a280-3aea-1069-a2de-08002b30309d} contains invalid characters 
(any of %<>*?|/\+=;:",)

  daniel (192.168.0.60) couldn't find service 
::{2227a280-3aea-1069-a2de-08002b30309d}

I don't HAVE any shares with invalid characters - that I'm aware of.  Is 
it possible there's something hiding in a corrupted tdb file?  I've 
tried deleting ntprinters.tdb without improvement.
