i am using net-fs/samba-3.0.10 on an updated gentoo linux on x86 machine. recently i was using 3.0.9-r1 i didn't change my smb.conf but now printing from windows 98SE clients does not work anymore. the errormessage on win98 is (translated from german): Error when writing on \\master\stylus1160 vor printer (EPSON Stylus Color 1160): The network printer is not anymore available. Call the system administrator or use another printer. printing from windows xp to the same samba server works without problems. /var/log/samba/log.win98host: [2005/01/31 07:47:48, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(648) scancomp (192.168.30.66) connect to service HL1670N initially as user erik (uid=1000, gid=1000) (pid 25074) [2005/01/31 07:47:48, 0] printing/printing_db.c:get_print_db_byname(40) PANIC: assert failed at printing/printing_db.c(40) [2005/01/31 07:47:48, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic2(1403) PANIC: assert failed [2005/01/31 07:47:48, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic2(1411) BACKTRACE: 1 stack frames: #0 /usr/sbin/smbd(smb_panic2+0xfc) [0x81ca6fe] some minute later next try: [2005/01/31 07:49:08, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(648) scancomp (192.168.30.66) connect to service HL1670N initially as user erik (uid=1000, gid=1000) (pid 27350) [2005/01/31 07:49:08, 0] printing/printing_db.c:get_print_db_byname(40) PANIC: assert failed at printing/printing_db.c(40) [2005/01/31 07:49:08, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic2(1403) PANIC: assert failed [2005/01/31 07:49:08, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic2(1411) BACKTRACE: 1 stack frames: #0 /usr/sbin/smbd(smb_panic2+0xfc) [0x81ca6fe] next try: [2005/01/31 08:00:06, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(648) scancomp (192.168.30.66) connect to service HL1670N initially as user erik (uid=1000, gid=1000) (pid 28404) [2005/01/31 08:00:21, 0] printing/printing_db.c:get_print_db_byname(40) PANIC: assert failed at printing/printing_db.c(40) [2005/01/31 08:00:21, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic2(1403) PANIC: assert failed [2005/01/31 08:00:21, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic2(1411) BACKTRACE: 1 stack frames: #0 /usr/sbin/smbd(smb_panic2+0xfc) [0x81ca6fe] next try: [2005/01/31 08:19:27, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(648) scancomp (192.168.30.66) connect to service stylus1160 initially as user erik (uid=1000, gid=1000) (pid 29031) [2005/01/31 08:19:27, 0] printing/printing_db.c:get_print_db_byname(40) PANIC: assert failed at printing/printing_db.c(40) [2005/01/31 08:19:27, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic2(1403) PANIC: assert failed [2005/01/31 08:19:27, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic2(1411) BACKTRACE: 1 stack frames: #0 /usr/sbin/smbd(smb_panic2+0xfc) [0x81ca6fe] and so on. this is my smb.conf: [global] netbios name = MASTER workgroup = MYDOMAIN passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://ldap.thiele.lan hosts allow = 192.168.30.0/255.255.255.0 127.0.0.1 local master = yes log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m os level = 33 preferred master = yes security = user username map = /etc/samba/smbusers wins support = yes load printers = yes printing = cups domain master = yes domain logons = yes logon path = \\%N\profiles\%U logon drive = H: logon home = \\%N\%U logon script = %m_%U_logon.bat bind interfaces only = yes interfaces = eth0 lo ldap admin dn = "cn=samba,ou=DSA,dc=mydomain,dc=de" ldap delete dn = yes ldap user suffix = ou=People ldap group suffix = ou=Group ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers ldap suffix = dc=mydomain,dc=de add user script = /usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-useradd -m "%u" add machine script = /usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-useradd -w "%u" add group script = /usr/share/samba/scripts/smdldap-groupadd -p "&g" add user to group script = /usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-groupmod -m "%u" "%g" delete user from group script = /usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-usermod -x "%u" "%g" set primary group script = /usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-usermod -g "%g" "%u" delete user script = /usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-userdel "%u" delete group script = /usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-groupdel "%g" time server = yes dos charset = CP850 unix charset = UTF-8 display charset = LOCALE [netlogon] path = /mydir/netlogon read only = yes [profiles] path = /mydir/profiles read only = no create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 guest ok = yes profile acls = yes csc policy = disable force user = %U valid users = %U @"Domain Admins" [homes] comment = Home Verzeichnisse #

I can't reproduce this, since I doesn't have a win98/me system to check. In samba 3.0.8-3.0.9 a printing patch for win98/ME NULL name printer check was included. Maybe this a bug from the dead(tm): try checking http://www.mail-archive.com/samba@lists.samba.org/msg48594.html (the patch) https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2018 (the bug) and, in case, reopen the upstream bug: samba 3.0.11 is in release candidate, and maybe this fix can be included before final commitment.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I doesn't -> I don't :-)
btw: win9x/ME systems use the _weak_ lanman authentication. try setting these flags in [global] section (I'm not confident these would override a NULL printing error, though): lanman auth = No server signing = disable client signing = disable client use spnego = No
erik, what's the latest on this?
currently i am using samba 3.0.10 and everything works. i am not sure what i changed. it was not on the win98 side though. i'm sorry i can't find the problem anymore, even though it was really there :-) Maybe some other part of the system has been updated. Seems to be strange though.
erik, we're about to move to 3.0.14a-r2, just so you know. I'll close this bug since it's apparently fixed. If 3.0.14a-r2 shows the same problems, please reopen. thanks :)
