Hello,

It's seems to be specific to Debian package. After a while searching a response
on the internet I have found this message :

Hi All,

I had been doing some testing with the Debian 3.0.4-x versions of samba.
On two sepearte systems, running different configs, I've found that smbd
panics unless the [printers] section is removed from smb.conf.  Errors
generated as follows...

(System #1) Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_MEMBER
Smb.conf...
[Global]
	 security = DOMAIN 
	 printcap name = cups
	 printing = cups

[printers]
       comment = All Printers
       path = /tmp
       printer admin = root, MYDOMAIN/lewis
       guest ok = Yes
       printable = Yes
       browseable = No
	
Smbd.log...

Looks like a bug to me...

	Anyone not got this issue with 3.0.4 sharing printers?

Cheers,

Lewis Shobbrook

---- End of mail -----

I also use Debian and I have the same problem and after removinh [printer]
section samba was working OK. It's seems to be a problem related to printer
support on the debian package (perhaps a missing dependancy, ...)

See you

debian issue based on reports, although I would recommend 
testing 3.0.11.  Thanks.
