As decribed here: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7445 i can't upload a driver over a Win2003 or WinXP box. Our Samba is a PDC installed on Debian Squeeze (Kernel 2.6.32-5-686), Samba-Version is 2:3.5.6~dfsg-1, which is 3.5.6. For printing, cups is used (1.4.4-3) Passdb-Backend of Samba is a LDAP-Server in a different VM, but this works together fine (Shares are all working, all logins are working, getent works, ...). If I go to a Win2003 machine, log in as user domain/administrator, which is mapped to root, browse to our Samba, open printer section, right click printer -> properties -> say no to driver install -> advanced -> add new driver -> search driver -> click finish Looking into /samba/drivers/W32X86 i see files appear, propably driver files and then they are deleted and i get message "Access denied" in win2003 box. As i read, files should be copied to /samba/drivers/W32X86/3, but they aren't. Looking in smbstatus when copying driver files, I see, that I come in as user root with uid 0, but get deny_all or deny_write as deny_mode. Printer is a Dell 2330 dn which worked fine before update and sure it's shared in cups. print$ from smb.conf: [print$] comment = Printer Driver Download Area path = /samba/drivers browseable = yes guest ok = no read only = yes write list = root, shector, @lpadmin, "@Domain Admins" I also tried it with "use privileges = yes" and granted rights to root and shector (which is me) by following command: net rpc rights grant "domain\root" SePrintOperatorPrivilege -U domain/root and net rpc rights grant "domain\root" SePrintOperatorPrivilege -U host/root Nothing helped. If needed, I can provide configs and logfiles, but please specify which one you need :) Thx in advance Stephan
sorry, for the late reply but this bug report does not contain enough information. But it looks like the user/group abd permission settngs are not really okay. Please consult the mailing list to get this straight as we can't offer support via bugzilla.
