Set up a FreeBSD server as a print server for Windows clients using samba. Once the print job is spooled, users are unable to remove the job from the windows client. At first I thought this was a samba problem, but a little research proved otherwise. Samba is configured so that everyone who connects is mapped to user "nobody". I changed the nobody account so that I could log in with it and then attempted to use lprm(1) to remove a job that someone had started. I received a "permission denied" error, but was able to remove the job as root. lpq(1) showed that the print job belonged to user nobody, so why can't nobody remove it? p.s. please c.c. me in all replies as I'm not currently subscribed. -- Bill Moran Potential Technology technical services http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
