2007-10-10r7643: This patch adds a new NTPTR subsystem:Stefan Metzmacher1-0/+24
- this is an abstraction layer for print services, like out NTVFS subsystem for file services - all protocol specific details are still in rpc_server/spoolss/ - like the stupid in and out Buffer handling - checking of the r->in.server_name - ... - this subsystem can have multiple implementation selected by the "ntptr providor" global-section parameter - I currently added a "simple_ldb" backend, that stores Printers, Forms, Ports, Monitors, ... in the spoolss.db, and does no real printing this backend is basicly for testing, how the spoolss protocol works - the interface is just a prototype and will be changed a bit the next days or weeks, till the simple_ldb backend can handle all calls that are used by normal w2k3/xp clients - I'll also make the api async, as the ntvfs api this will make things like the RemoteFindFirstPrinterChangeNotifyEx(), that opens a connection back to the client, easier to implement, as we should not block the whole smbd for that - the idea is to later implement a "unix" backend that works like the current samba3 code - and maybe some embedded print server vendors can write there own backend that can directly talk to a printer without having cups or something like this - the default settings are (it currently makes no sense to change them :-): ntptr providor = simple_ldb spoolss database = $private_dir/spoolss.db metze (This used to be commit 455b5536d41bc31ebef8290812f45d4a38afa8e9)
