Description Noël Köthe 2006-09-15 10:15:09 UTC 
Hello,

a forwarded bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/387266

"Hi,

the smbspool manpage is outdated, as it does not mention the kerberos
support. Instead, it says the user name is ignored, but in fact, it is
used to access the users' kerberos ticket cache.

Minor bug, but it would be helpful for people that have to set up
printing in an Active Directory, to show them what's possible.

Thanks,
Joachim"

patch for master

Looks correct, here is a fix for master. Sorry for the delay.

Günther, can you also review this, and if fine, commit it to master and review+ for 4.0 and 4.1 please?

patch for master

This patch did not get in. Is it still right?

(In reply to Douglas Bagnall from comment #3)
It still applies. 

Björn, if you are quick to reply and consent to me modernising the patch (Signed-off-by: you, etc) I'll put in with a batch of documentation patches I am making.
