Hi everyone.

We'd like to have a separate file and print server, at the moment one box does both. Do we just delete the [printers] section on the existing server and have only that in smb.conf on the print server. Or has the [global] stuff got to go on both?

From the Samba documentation:

The [global] section parameters in this section apply to the server as a whole, or are defaults for sections which do not specifically define certain items. Judging from this, it doesn't seem like you _need_ a [global]. In other words, experiment. Stick just the [printers] in the new machine, and if it works, you're golden. If it doesn't, just stick it in. No harm done... -- Karol Pietrzak PGP KeyID: 3A1446A0
