Hello everyone,
in my samba 2.2.1a server, I've defined a printer share of the
form:
[pdfmail]
comment = Convert to PDF
path = /var/tmp
read only = No
create mask = 0755
print ok = Yes
postscript = Yes
print command = /usr/local/bin/pdfmail %u %s
guest ok = no
The pdfmail script takes the file, converts it to PDF and creates
a nice message to the user (%u) with the file as an attachment.
At least in theory. In practice I notice that many requests are
submitted as nobody, not as the real user, although the guest ok
= no directive is supposed to forbid that. These messages were
previously all lost, but I've now aliased to nobody user to my?
self. And I'm getting tons of messages! For the users this is
also quite a nuisance, as they have to print stuff several times,
until it happens to be printed under their uid.
My clients are all NT4 with SP5 or SP6, and the samba server is a
PDC for them.
How can I make sure that every request comes with the correct
userid?
Mit herzlichem Gruss
Andreas Mueller
