NAME

spoolssd - NT Printing services

SYNOPSIS

spoolssd [-d debuglevel] [-D] [-a] [-p port] [-o] [-P] [-i scope] [-s servicesfile] [-l basename for log file]

DESCRIPTION

This daemon is part of the new Samba TNG suite.

spoolssd implements NT-style printing. See br(smb.conf(5)) for details on configuring samba for print serving.

This daemon is not needed for file serving or Domain Control.

OPTIONS

-d debuglevel
sets the debuglevel to an integer between 0 and 100. 0 is for no debugging and 100 is for reams and reams. To submit a bug report to the Samba Team, use debug level 100 (see BUGS.txt).

-D
tells spoolssd to become a daemon and detach from the current terminal. This should be used for the most part.

-a
tells spoolssd to append to it's log file rather than overwrite it. This is on by default.

-p port
sets the port on which spoolssd listens for incoming requests. Not used often.

-o
tells spoolssd to overwrite the log file each time it is restarted. This is useful for reporting specific problems to the Samba Team.

-P
(unknown)

-i scope
sets the NetBIOS scope. The NetBIOS scope is not used normally. To find out more about the NetBIOS scope, see RFCs 1001 and 1002.

-s servicesfile
specifies the location of the services file. The default being /etc/services

-l basename for log file
sets the basename of the log file. The default is log and .spoolssd will be appended to the file name.

The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell samba-bugs@samba.org. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
