This document describes +how to set this up. Over the continued development of the 1.9.18alpha +series, this process (and therefore this document) should become simpler. + +One useful thing to do is to get this version of Samba up and running +with Win95 profiles, as you would for the current stable version of +Samba (currently at 1.9.17p4), and is fully documented. You will need +to set up encrypted passwords. Even if you don't have any Win95 machines, +using your Samba Server to store the profile for one of your NT Workstation +users is a good test that you have 1.9.18alpha1 correctly configured *prior* +to attempting NT Domain Logons. + +The support is still experimental, so should be used at your own risk. + +NT is not as robust as you might have been led to believe: during the +development of the Domain Logon Support, one person reported having to +reinstall NT from scratch: their workstation had become totally unuseable. + +[further reports on ntsec@iss.net by independent administrators showing + similar symptoms lead us to believe that the SAM database file may be + corruptible. this _is_ recoverable (or, at least the machine is accessible), + by deleting the SAM file, under which circumstances all user account details + are lost, but at least the Administrator can log in with a blank password. + this is *not* possible except if the NT system is installed in a FAT + partition.] + +This *has* been reported to the NTBUGTRAQ@LISTSERV.NTBUGTRAQ.COM digest. + +========================================================================== +Please note that Samba 2.0 does not **officially** support domain logons +for Windows NT clients. Of course, domain logon support for Windows 9x +clients is complete and official. These are two different issues. + +Samba's capability to act as a Primary Domain Controller for Windows NT +domains is not advertised as it is not completed yet. For more information +regarding how to obtain the latest development (HEAD branch) source code +and what features are available, please refer to the NT Domain FAQ on-line +at the Samba web site under the documentation page. + diff --git a/docs/textdocs/outdated/PRINTER_DRIVER.txt b/docs/textdocs/outdated/PRINTER_DRIVER.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..5bf82e0cfe4 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/textdocs/outdated/PRINTER_DRIVER.txt @@ -0,0 +1,240 @@ +!== +!== PRINTER_DRIVER.txt for Samba release 2.0.4 18 May 1999 +!== +========================================================================== + Supporting the famous PRINTER$ share + + Jean-Francois.Micouleau@utc.fr, 10/26/97 + modified by herb@sgi.com 1/2/98 + +=========================================================================== + +Disclaimer: + + This ONLY works with Windows 95 + It does NOT work with Windows NT 4 + + +Goal: + + When you click on a samba shared printer, you can now install the driver + automatically onto the Windows 95 machine, as you would from an NT server. + +How To: + + It's a three step config. + + First, create a new directory, where you will put the driver files, and + make a share in smb.conf pointing to it. + + Example: + + [printer$] + path=/usr/local/samba/printer + public=yes + writable=no + browseable=yes + + Second, you have to build the list of drivers required for a specific + printer. This is the most complicated thing to do. Get the files + 'msprint.inf' and 'msprint2.inf' from Windows 95, the easiest way is to + grab them from a working Windows 95 computer. They are usually located + in 'c:\windows\inf'. Look in them for the printer you have. Run the new + program 'make_printerdef' with the file name and the printer name as + parameters. If you have drivers for an unsupported or updated printer, + first install these drivers on an Windows 95 system. There will be a + file created in your inf directory named 'oem?.inf' (where the ? is some + number). Use this file instead of msprint.inf. + + Example: (from the /usr/local/samba/lib directory) + + make_printerdef msprint.inf "Apple LaserWriter" >> printers.def + + The program will print out a list of required files to stderr. + Copy all the files listed into the directory you created in step 1. + If you have "preserve case = yes" make sure your files names match + EXACTLY the names listed. + + Third, you need to add 2 new parameters in smb.conf. One is in the + [global] section, called 'printer driver file' pointing to the printer + description file you just created, and the other in each printer share, + called 'printer driver location' pointing to where the client will get + the drivers. Don't forget to set correctly the printer driver parameter + to the Windows printer name. + + Example: + + [global] + printer driver file=/usr/local/samba/lib/printers.def + + [lp] + comment = My old printer laser + browseable = yes + printable = yes + public = yes + writable = no + create mode = 0700 + printer driver=Apple LaserWriter + printer driver location=\\%h\PRINTER$ + + %h will expand to the computer name, and PRINTER$ is the name of the + share created in step one. + + +If it doesn't work for you, don't send flame ! It worked for me. In case of +trouble don't hesitate to send me a mail with your smb.conf file and +printers.def + + +******* added by herb@sgi.com + +For those of you who like to know the details, and in case I have guessed +wrong on some of the fields - The following is the format of the entries +in the printers.def file: (entries are 1 single line - they are split here +for readability) + +<Long Printer Name>:<Driver File Name>:<Data File Name>:<Help File Name>: +<Language Monitor Name>:<Default Data Type>:<Comma Separated list of Files> + +The <Help File Name> and the <Language Monitor Name> can be empty. +If no <Driver File Name> or <Data File Name> are specified in the inf file, +these will default to the section name for the printer. + +The following is an excerpt from the MSPRINT2.INF file on a WIN95 machine. +I have deleted all but the entries relating to installing a driver for the +"QMS ColorScript 100 Model 30" printer. Using this "file" I'll try to +explain how the printers.def file is created. + +make_printerdef is run with the first argument being the name of this +file (MSPRINT2.INF in this case) and the second argument being the +name of the printer ("QMS ColorScript 100 Model 30" in this case). + +The printer name is first found in the "Model section" to obtain the +name of the "Installer Section" (this is the name after the equal sign). +We ignore the alternate name. + +The "Installer Section" contains entries for "CopyFiles" and "DataSection". +The "CopyFiles" line gives a list of all the required files for this +printer. If the name begins with an @ it is the name of a file (after +you strip off the @), otherwise it is the name of a "Copy Section" which +in turn is a list of files required. This printer has one file listed +"QCS30503.SPD" and two sections "COLOR_QMS_100_30" and "PSCRIPT". The +"COLOR_QMS_100_30" section is listed in the "[DestinationDirs]" as +having a value of 23. This means that all files listed in this section +should go into the "color" subdirectory. The list of files to copy for +this printer is thus: + +QCS30503.SPD,color\QMS10030.ICM,PSCRIPT.DRV,PSCRIPT.HLP,PSCRIPT.INI, +TESTPS.TXT,APPLE380.SPD,FONTS.MFM,ICONLIB.DLL,PSMON.DLL + +From the "Data Section" we obtain values for "DriverFile", "HelpFile", +and "LanguageMonitor". The % around the value for "LanguageMonitor" +indicates that it is a string that can be localized so its actual value +is obtained from the "[Strings]" section. The "Data Section" could also +have contained an entry for "DefaultDataType". + +Using the information we have obtained we can now construct the entry +for the printers.def file. + +<Long Printer Name> -> QMS ColorScript 100 Model 30 (name given + on the command line) +<Driver File Name> -> PSCRIPT.DRV (given in Data Section) +<Data File Name> -> QCS30503.SPD (defaults to Install Section name) +<Help File Name> -> PSCRIPT.HLP (given in Data Section) +<Language Monitor Name> -> PostScript Language Monitor (given in Data Section) +<Default Data Type> -> RAW (default if not specified) + + +So.... the enty (actually one line but split here for readability) would +be: + +QMS ColorScript 100 Model 30:PSCRIPT.DRV:QCS30503.SPD: +PSCRIPT.HLP:PostScript Language Monitor:RAW: +QCS30503.SPD,color\QMS10030.ICM,PSCRIPT.DRV,PSCRIPT.HLP,PSCRIPT.INI, +TESTPS.TXT,APPLE380.SPD,FONTS.MFM,ICONLIB.DLL,PSMON.DLL + +---------------------- Info from MSPRINT2.INF ------------------------ +; +; The Manufacturer section lists all of the manufacturers that we will +; display in the Dialog box + +[Manufacturer] +"QMS" + + +; +; Model sections.
