I don't like the proposed idea (shell script mod of smb.conf) either, however I was under the impression with your lpr mod you would also bludgeon the user with 4*5*200 printer shares. I had thought that with your lpr mod, you still need to somehow add the "printer/hm" variations into the list of shares presented by samba. Or am I missing a samba configuration option that permits the user to specify the queue the job is sent to [instead of having them select from a predefined list] ? In any case, my choice would be for the samba hack ;) -Ted > --- > Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu > Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu > Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
