I've had some issues with SP2-final for XP installed doing printing stuff as an admin user (mapped to root) with samba 3.0.5. [Checked the list archives and haven't seen any talk about this, other than a mention by Jerry that samba had a bug and MS had a bug back in July in regards to SP2 RC2, but assumed those were taken care of?] Basically if I try to connect to printers as a user that's an admin (mapped to root) on those printers it'll work for the first couple printers I connect to but then I get "Failed to connect, retrying" on the windows client side and Signal 11 errors in the log file: [2004/08/10 11:58:05, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(36) =============================================================== [2004/08/10 11:58:05, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(37) INTERNAL ERROR: Signal 11 in pid 7692 (3.0.5) Please read the appendix Bugs of the Samba HOWTO collection [2004/08/10 11:58:05, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(39) =============================================================== [2004/08/10 11:58:05, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic2(1398) PANIC: internal error [2004/08/10 11:58:05, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic2(1406) BACKTRACE: 22 stack frames: #0 smbd(smb_panic2+0x128) [0x81cf188] #1 smbd(smb_panic+0x19) [0x81cf059] #2 smbd [0x81bd1b2] #3 /lib/tls/libc.so.6 [0x420277b8] #4 smbd(_spoolss_rfnpcnex+0x16a) [0x8128c2a] #5 smbd [0x811d69e] #6 smbd(api_rpcTNP+0x159) [0x81511f9] #7 smbd(api_pipe_request+0xaf) [0x8150fbf] #8 smbd [0x814a4c6] #9 smbd [0x814a819] #10 smbd [0x814aa5b] #11 smbd [0x814ac5c] #12 smbd(write_to_pipe+0xf2) [0x814abb2] #13 smbd [0x808ab5e] #14 smbd(reply_trans+0x54b) [0x808b52b] #15 smbd [0x80cdab4] #16 smbd [0x80cdca9] #17 smbd(process_smb+0x8f) [0x80cdebf] #18 smbd(smbd_process+0x167) [0x80ceb07] #19 smbd(main+0x4d9) [0x823df19] #20 /lib/tls/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe4) [0x42015704] #21 smbd(chroot+0x31) [0x8077af1] I've uninstalled SP2 and things are working again. I'm getting a test SP2 box together to gather more info. My suspicion is that it only happens for users trying to be mapped to root. RH9, joined to a AD domain RPC style, if that matters.
already fixed in 3.0.6rc2
(In reply to comment #1) > already fixed in 3.0.6rc2 OK, tested with 3.0.6rc2 and while the queue errors (Failed to connect, retrying) are gone, on the "Printers and Faxes on XXXX" admin control panel the queues all disappear and then reappear every 10 seconds, seemingly corresponding to log messages like: print cache expired for queue bulref (last_qscan_time = 1092841049, time now = 1092841071, qcachetime = 10) This isn't a big deal on a rather fast machine, but on my PIII 550 it makes admining drivers quite difficult as I often can't find the queue I need to change fast enough before they disappear and reappear again. Am I missing a setting/new feature somewhere?
set the 'lpq cache time' to a higher value if you like. The refreshing problem is due to MS's bug in SP2. We can't change that. The original bug is fixed so I'm closing this.
sorry for the same, cleaning up the database to prevent unecessary reopens of bugs.
