 Posted: Wed Oct 17, 2007 1:53 am Post subject: Cups , Samba and Windows Printing |
 |
|
Hello world,
I've had a problem pop up from no where last week. I can't print to my windows printer anymore. I get the following message in cups
| Quote: | | "Unable to connect to CIFS host, will retry in 60 seconds..." |
then eventually i get
| Quote: | | "/usr/libexec/cups/backend/smb failed" |
Thing is, i thought i fixed this problem by setting my samba box here as the domain master in smb.conf. I was then able to view smbtree and I printed a document. Today, i get the same problem and searching around the web didn't get me far.
Here is the error from smbtree
| Quote: | $ smbtree -U siddig%

I don't even think my WAN ip address starts with a 66. any tips are appreciated. |

server string = Samba Linux Server %v
# 2. Printing Options:
# CHANGES TO ENABLE PRINTING ON ALL CUPS PRINTERS IN THE NETWORK
# if you want to automatically load your printer list rather
# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
printcap name = cups

# yours is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include:
# bsd, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx, cups

# 4. Security and Domain Membership Options:
# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
# following example restricts access to two C class networks and
# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
# the smb.conf man page. Do not enable this if (tcp/ip) name resolution does
# not work for all the hosts in your network.

# When using security = domain, you should use password server = *
; password server = <NT-Server-Name>

# Password Level allows matching of _n_ characters of the password for
# all combinations of upper and lower case.
; password level = 8
; username level = 8
# You may wish to use password encryption. Please read
# ENCRYPTION.txt, Win95.txt and WinNT.txt in the Samba documentation.
# Do not enable this option unless you have read those documents
# Encrypted passwords are required for any use of samba in a Windows NT domain
# The smbpasswd file is only required by a server doing authentication, thus
# members of a domain do not need one.
encrypt passwords = yes
# The following are needed to allow password changing from Windows to
# also update the Linux system password.
# NOTE: Use these with 'encrypt passwords' and 'smb passwd file' above.
# NOTE2: You do NOT need these to allow workstations to change only
# the encrypted SMB passwords. They allow the Unix password
# to be kept in sync with the SMB password.

# Using the following line enables you to customise your configuration
# on a per machine basis. The %m gets replaced with the netbios name
# of the machine that is connecting
; include = /etc/samba/smb.conf.%m
# Options for using winbind. Winbind allows you to do all account and
# authentication from a Windows or samba domain controller, creating
# accounts on the fly, and maintaining a mapping of Windows RIDs to unix uid's
# and gid's. idmap uid and idmap gid are the only required parameters.

# name and username, defaults to "\"

#
# template homedir determines the home directory for winbind users, with
# %D expanding to their domain name and %U expanding to their username:
; template homedir = /home/%D/%U
# When using winbind, you may want to have samba create home directories
# on the fly for authenticated users. Ensure that /etc/pam.d/samba is
# using 'service=system-auth-winbind' in pam_stack modules, and then
# enable obedience of pam restrictions below:
; obey pam restrictions = yes
#
# template shell determines the shell users authenticated by winbind get
; template shell = /bin/bash
# 5. Browser Control and Networking Options:
# Most people will find that this option gives better performance.
# See speed.txt and the manual pages for details
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
# Configure Samba to use multiple interfaces
# If you have multiple network interfaces then you must list them
# here. See the man page for details.
; interfaces = 192.168.12.2/24 192.168.13.2/24
# Configure remote browse list synchronisation here
# request announcement to, or browse list sync from:
# a specific host or from / to a whole subnet (see below)
; remote browse sync = 192.168.3.25 192.168.5.255
# Cause this host to announce itself to local subnets here
; remote announce = 192.168.1.255 192.168.2.44
# set local master to no if you don't want Samba to become a master
# browser on your network. Otherwise the normal election rules apply
; local master = no
# OS Level determines the precedence of this server in master browser
# elections. The default value should be reasonable
; os level = 33
# Domain Master specifies Samba to be the Domain Master Browser. This
# allows Samba to collate browse lists between subnets. Don't use this
# if you already have a Windows NT domain controller doing this job
domain master = yes
# Preferred Master causes Samba to force a local browser election on startup
# and gives it a slightly higher chance of winning the election
preferred master = yes
# 6. Domain Control Options:
# Enable this if you want Samba to be a domain logon server for
# Windows95 workstations or Primary Domain Controller for WinNT and Win2k
; domain logons = yes
# if you enable domain logons then you may want a per-machine or
# per user logon script
# run a specific logon batch file per workstation (machine)
; logon script = %m.bat
# run a specific logon batch file per username
; logon script = %U.bat
# Where to store roaming profiles for WinNT and Win2k
# %L substitutes for this servers netbios name, %U is username
# You must uncomment the [Profiles] share below
; logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U
# Where to store roaming profiles for Win9x. Be careful with this as it also
# impacts where Win2k finds it's /HOME share
; logon home = \\%L\%U\.profile
# The add user script is used by a domain member to add local user accounts
# that have been authenticated by the domain controller, or when adding
# users via the Windows NT Tools (ie User Manager for Domains).
# Scripts for file (passwd, smbpasswd) backend:
; add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -s /bin/false '%u'
; delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel '%s'
; add user to group script = /usr/bin/gpasswd -a '%u' '%g'
; delete user from group script = /usr/bin/gpasswd -d '%u' '%g'
; set primary group script = /usr/sbin/usermod -g '%g' '%u'
; add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd %g && getent group '%g'|awk -F: '{print $3}'
; delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel '%g'
# 7. Name Resolution Options:
# All NetBIOS names must be resolved to IP Addresses
# 'Name Resolve Order' allows the named resolution mechanism to be specified
# the default order is "host lmhosts wins bcast". "host" means use the unix
# system gethostbyname() function call that will use either /etc/hosts OR
# DNS or NIS depending on the settings of /etc/host.config, /etc/nsswitch.conf
# and the /etc/resolv.conf file. "host" therefore is system configuration
# dependant. This parameter is most often of use to prevent DNS lookups
# in order to resolve NetBIOS names to IP Addresses. Use with care!
# The example below excludes use of name resolution for machines that are NOT
# on the local network segment
# - OR - are not deliberately to be known via lmhosts or via WINS.
name resolve order = wins host lmhosts bcast
# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:
# WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable it's WINS Server
wins support = yes
# WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client
# Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both
; wins server = w.x.y.z
# WINS Proxy - Tells Samba to answer name resolution queries on
# behalf of a non WINS capable client, for this to work there must be
# at least one WINS Server on the network. The default is NO.
; wins proxy = yes
# DNS Proxy - tells Samba whether or not to try to resolve NetBIOS names
# via DNS nslookups. The built-in default for versions 1.9.17 is yes,
# this has been changed in version 1.9.18 to no.
dns proxy = no
# 8. File Naming Options:
# Case Preservation can be handy - system default is _no_
# NOTE: These can be set on a per share basis
; preserve case = no
; short preserve case = no
# Default case is normally upper case for all DOS files
; default case = lower
# Be very careful with case sensitivity - it can break things!
; case sensitive = no
# Enabling internationalization:
# you can match a Windows code page with a UNIX character set.
# Windows: 437 (US), 737 (GREEK), 850 (Latin1 - Western European),
# 852 (Czech), 861 (???), 932 (Japanese),
# 936 (Simplified Chin.), 949 (Korean Hangul),
# 950 (Trad. Chin.).
# More detail about code page is in
# "http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/oslocversion.mspx"
# UNIX: ISO8859-1 (Western European), ISO8859-2 (Eastern Eu.),
# ISO8859-5 (Russian Cyrillic), KOI8-R (Alt-Russ. Cyril.)
# This is an example for french users:
; dos charset = 850
; unix charset = ISO8859-1

I have a similar issue. It was all working but something (an update?) broke it.
I can connect via smbclient, but I get:

It all comes back to me now.
| Quote: |
The problem is in the windows XP setup. For some reason on xp you must go to "add/remove programs" in the control panel and on the left will be a button for Windows components. Click on it and under "other network file and print services" you will find "print services for Unix". Make sure that it is checked and hit ok. When setting up in Mepis, set up as remote lpr/lpd. and give the ip address to the machine. Everything should work well after all that.

I decided to use a different printer as I can't access the Windows machine at present.

I enabled Unix Print Services but I get the same error "CIFS Host . . . "
Its strange because both of my gentoo boxes got this problem around the same time. I'm surprised this post hasn't attracted attention since it seems to be the only one related to this obscure problem. |

Make sure your XP system registers itself with your WINS server (TCP/IP properties).
Compile Samba with winbind support (but you wont be running winbindd) and edit the hosts: line in /etc/nsswitch.conf to read | Code: | | hosts: files dns wins |

Right. If you don't build with winbind support you don't get the libraries to support hosts lookups via WINS. Basically there are times (such as this one) when you want to compile with winbind support yet not actually run winbind. The way to start winbind in Gentoo (which you don't need to do) is to edit the /etc/conf.d/samba file and add it to the daemon_list.

Actually the parameter is "smb ports" (not "smb port" - testparm should identify this) and if you want normal NetBIOS browsing, etc. you probably want to leave it at the default (139 445) or, if anything, limit it to port 139 instead: or | Code: | | smb ports = 445 139 |
which is the same as leaving the line out or commented.

Recommended changes to your posted smb.conf:
| Code: | hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127. ;probably not necessary - should certainly be removed for troubleshooting
hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 ;remove this line completely
security = share ;needs to be security = user for proper operation, especially in this context
;username map = /etc/samba/smbusers ;uncomment this, you want it |
The above lines (minus the 2 not needed) should now read: | Code: | security = user
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers |
And at the very least the above referenced /etc/samba/smbusers file should contain:
Make these changes, stop samba, locate your wins.dat file, delete it, start samba.

Another oddity is that apparently your domain name (redblack) and the system you're trying to connect to (redblack) are the same - this should not be the case. The domain name or workgroup name (if you're not running a domain) must be different. In the case of your samba server you're setting the workgroup/domain name to WORKGROUP, you should do the same on your other systems - or change samba to match - but do not use the same name for a host name.

the mount.cifs stuff was recently broken out of the main samba branch. I ran into multiple CIFS issues this week and found that all of them were solved by doing the following (note: you might want to specify a version number, I typically use the latest versions with samba and CIFS because 1.) they release good code and 2.) microsoft changes things and pushes them out on msupdate that breaks windows-linux interoperation):
| Code: | emerge --sync
echo "net-fs/mount-cifs ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge -uDv --newuse mount-cifs
revdep-rebuild
|
You might be able to get by with just merging mount-cifs, but since it split from samba it's wise to update all of it.

That could be somewhat misleading. It is more accurate to say that the building of mount.cifs - still a standard part of Samba, has been arbitrarily split by the Gentoo dev team into a separate ebuild in order to allow for its installation w/o installing Samba itself. The kernel module cifs is still usable w/o the mount.cifs helper app, but the helper does add some niceties.
I personally don't like the extra ebuild, and it certainly causes a problem when you're used to a normal Samba install - where mount.cifs gets built and installed by default and now all of sudden you find it missing.
That aside, it has nothing to do with the problem at hand.

I was unable to mount any windows shares served from AD or NT domains until I merged it, so I thought since he is getting CIFS errors it might be related.

It's not related. It's a helper app that interfaces with the kernels cifs module, which is only used in mounting. I doubt you need mount.cifs at all but the options aren't the same without it. Last I examined it w/o mount.cifs only the IP address was valid, not the NetBIOS name. Other options that mount.cifs provides may be missing or different when dealing with the kernel module more directly. It (mount.cifs) should not be necessary but possibly desirable.

I know this may have been long figured out, but have this same problem and I figured out the problem.
My computers all went down due to a power outage (get it, I guy with 7 top computers doesn't have a UPS, lol) but what I had to do was just turn my /etc/hosts to point to the correct new 192.168.1.? and it found windows and all was well and printing.
I hope this simple fix works for you like it did for me.
