[01:19]<bfzsvuz>hey! i'm trying to configure my samba server to share /media/sdb1 to the public (guests/anonymous/anyone) .. but it seems like smbd is crashing with my current config... the error in my log file is: Unable to open printcap file /etc/printcap for read! .. after some googling, i THINK this has to do with printers, so i went ahead and added load printers = no to my config, but that didn't help either :( I don't have any printers attached s
