[Samba] ntprinters.tdb

Dear all,

I am struggling to know how exactly SAMBA is working. I had a problem
last week to save default preferences of printers which now seems to
be ok. What I am trying to understand is how is it working because I
am not seeing the file ntprinters.tdb changing , at least not in real
time. I checked in /var/cache/samba and /var/lib/samba. Does anyone
know, when changing print server default preferences, when is the file
updated ?

Tnx, it is a great list
KOnrad

This is just an issue with mmap() on certain platforms not
updating the mtime until the msync() is called IIRC.

What specifically do you want to know about the printing
implementation in Samba?
