ThisK presented problems for the samba spool --wherever it went, all users of the D system would need a disk quota on that disk. This is also a possibleF problem: they might start using the spool directory to store files in 4 (not necessarily via SAMBA) and fill up the disk ...  G Anyhow, it appears that if you follow the instructions in section 13 of I the "OVMS guide to system security", SMBD can be installed as a protected G subsystem with a resource identifier, say SAMBA_SPOOL. You then specify H the spool directory as one owned by that resource (sect 8 of the guide),N and give the resource quota on the disk, sufficient to spool anything sensible< but not enough to fill the disk (=denial-of-service attack).  K The one change needed is that SMBD must be linked /NOTRACE. It's trivial to ' modify LINK.COM to add that qualifier.    I Once this done, all printing activity uses the SAMBA_SPOOL quota, but all J print jobs get queued on behalf of the user (so printer accounting works). Early days yet, but seems OK.   J Thanks for the VMS port. It means that all our various classes of PC usersK can use the communal printers without having to pay for Pathworks licenses. J We're running PAthworks 5 on one cluster node and samba on another. Again,' this doesn't seem to cause any problem.    		Nigel Arnot.
