Glenn,

Now I move my printers and print$ back to the text based smb.conf and I copied the standard ubuntu debian [printers] and [print$] out of the original ubuntu package smb.conf and the only modification that I made was under the [print$] I change read only to no instead of yes. I can not write to the share. Simply renaming print$ section to print I can access the share and write to it with no problems. Any more suggestions? I need to get this resolved. Here is my smb.conf now:

The reason I am using the registry for the smb.conf is memory savings, instance changes of smb.conf going into effect, and maybe future clustering. Also, I will state if using the samba registry method is not the proper way of doing things then why would the Samba developers add this feature into Samba? ;-) The reason I set the share with the current rights, is to troubleshoot the problem and prove that my file rights were correct. When I setup the print$ share "the proper way" it is still read-only even though I had writelist in effect. I currently have 1200 pc connect to a samba-ldap servers with the proper setup with no problems. I will investigate the app armor settings
