Two possible fixes: 1) add the printcap process PID to the list 2) raise the debug level at which the "Could not find child X" message is logged
printing.c:start_background_queue() adds a background lpq updater child process to the "children" list, printcap should do the same.
This option gets ugly, particularly in pre 3.6 samba versions where the princap code is called by parent *and* child smbd processes (no printer_list.tdb). Furthermore, in master any process on the "children" list is sent a MSG_DEBUG message when the log level is changed. This is not necessary for short lived worker child processes that do not wait on tevent. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
