I really searched in a lot of places to try and find this bug, including googling and reading through many summaries and doing very broad searches. I was doing an additional search to e-mail a couple of the people who were complaining about this issue in various places on the web when my searches found http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2003-276.html and bug 104293 against Redhat 9. However, that bug claims that the bug should be fixed in redhat-config-printer-0.6.75-1, and I am running redhat-config-printer-0.6.79.5-1. Either the patch fell off, or it was reversed, or they changed XP in a way that makes samba break or something. I have also read through the errata. It could have been more specific, I guess I believe that when no userid or password is needed by the system for printing, that none need be specified. Looking at the man page for smbspool makes it clear that it is legitimate to *not* specify a userid or password in the URL. Finally, any userid works equally well. I reconfigured the printer to use the userid zithead (which does not and never has existed on the gateway system and also has no special meanings in contexts other than the teenage acne sort), and the result was just as excellent as when I used the userid guest. [njs@quickdraw njs]$ rpm -q redhat-config-printer redhat-config-printer-0.6.79.5-1 You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/njs [njs@quickdraw njs]$ rpm -q cups cups-1.1.19-13 You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/njs [njs@quickdraw njs]$ rpm -q samba samba-3.0.2-7.FC1 To me, this makes it clear that the bug is in samba, and not in redhat-config-printer and CUPS. I did find some bugs when I was doing my research which indicated that different things might be done when a userid was vs. was not specified on a command. Then I found 104136. This is probably an actual duplicate of that. If you agree, close it as a dup. Fedora Core 1 is maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thanks! NOTE: Fedora Core 1 is reaching the final end of support even by the Legacy project. After Fedora Core 6 Test 2 is released (currently scheduled for July 26th), there will be no more security updates for FC1. Please use these next two weeks to upgrade any remaining FC1 systems to a current release. |
