Description Joakim Tjernlund 2022-11-10 13:33:54 UTC

cups/backend smp normally points to smb -> ../../../bin/smbspool
but in order to use Kerberos to authenticate one self this symlink
needs to point to sambas smbspool_krb5_wrapper:
  smb -> ../../samba/smbspool_krb5_wrapper
and there is no way to set this up so the sym link survives an cups rebuild/upgrade.

Comment 1 Joakim Tjernlund 2022-11-16 10:56:00 UTC

This symlink is actually installed by samba so this bug does not belong to cups, closing.
