[GUIDE] SAMBA + CUPS (Security Share)

mezoko · 2005-05-16 02:11:59

Well I've been trying to get samba and cups to work for a long time and I didn't care how if it had to be with a user name would have done it but wouldn't have liked it. Anyways....

You need to create a user called samba and a group called samba

adduser

follow the steps

add group

groupadd samba

Then you need to edit some samba things. First File
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf
and you go to change this

<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
</Location>

to this

<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From All
</Location>

then you need to uncomment the following lines:
/etc/cups/mime.types

application/octet-stream

/etc/cups/mime.convs

application/octet-stream        application/vnd.cups-raw        0      -

Then you edit you samba conf

Edit Samba Config

# Global parameters
[global]
    server string = Matthew
    security = SHARE
    guest account = samba
    printer admin = samba, matthew

[Share]
    read only = No
    guest ok = Yes
    path = /home/samba

[Canoni450]
    comment = Canoni450
    path = /home/samba/spool
    valid users = matthew, samba
    guest ok = Yes
    printable = Yes
    use client driver = Yes

I added a dir so people can see how I setup a share

It is probably necessary to add WORKGROUP = yourworkgroup if you use a different workgroup other than workgroup

Rewritten. It easier to understand and I included a few things that I left out.

There's an easier way.. tell samba to let CUPS handle the printing.. works amazing on my fileserver/printer box

Please explain, how woudl I go about doing that?

for example, here's my config.

[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
security = SHARE
syslog = 0
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
invalid users = root
printcap name = cups
printing = cups
print command =
lpq command =
lprm command =
null passwords = yes
[share]
comment = Public Share
path = /sambaData
guest ok = Yes
read only = No

AFter that just setup your cups.. which is easy as pie.. heck you can even use the web interface @ ip:631 192.168.1.125:631 in my webbrowser works.

If it's security you're after, I'd recommend changing

<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From All
</Location>

to

<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From @LOCAL
</Location>

Using @LOCAL for the Allow From line only allows access from the LAN.
