Description Aarti Varshney 2006-03-31 16:22:20 UTC 
This is what I did:
1. From a windows client access the samba share \\sambaShare.
2. Click on the printers folder.
3. Click on File -> Server Properties.
4. Click on the Drivers tab and click on the Add button.
5. Pick a driver and click on the Finish button.

A message pops up saying
Unable to install driver. Operation not completed.

6. Once I ok the message and click the finish button again the driver seems to get installed properly.


Please see attached error message and samba log with log level 10

Comment 3 Joanna Chan 2006-04-03 11:05:32 UTC 
More observation:

When copying the driver files into the print$ dir, a file like '__SKIP_033B' was created, all the driver files are first put into the print$ dir and then to the subdir '3' but not this '__SKIP_xxxx' file.  The error reported occured.

After the error dialog, if the 'OK' then 'Finish' button are clicked again, the driver files are copied again into the print$ dir but this time, the installation is successful and the '__SKIP_xxxx' file is removed.  This is the expected behaviour as in 3.0.20.

Attached is the level 4 log of the process.

Comment 6 Jeremy Allison 2006-04-03 11:10:40 UTC 
Please add a debug level 10 log for the '__SKIP_033B' problem. That'll help more than level 4.
Jeremy.

The problem is that assert_gid() is firing and hence smbd is aborting.
Working with Aarti to figure out why.
Comment 9 Gerald (Jerry) Carter (dead mail address) 2006-04-20 07:50:03 UTC 
problem with the build environment.  Not Samba.
