[FreeNX-kNX] NX printing through port 445

[Prakash Velayutham]

Wonderful folks. It is finally working.

Here is a gist of what all had to be done, in case someone else is  
interested.

* Samba had to be recompiled (source file $SAMBA_ROOT/source/libsmb/ 
cliconnect.c). Just change the occurrence of "cli->port == 445" to  
"cli->port != 139" (around line 1337). Thanks to Fabian for this.

Do we tell someone in Samba team about this?

This was required as I was trying to use 445 instead of the default  
139 port on the client-side. Looks like forwarding port 139 alone does  
not work in some networks like mine, but 445 alone works fine.

* Change COMMAND_SMBMOUNT and COMMAND_SMBUMOUNT to refer to the newly  
built smbmount and smbumount execs.

* In /usr/lib/cups/backend, change the link of "smb" to smbspool in  
the newly built samba.

* In SuSE 10.2 (I do not know of the other distros), even if you  
install the FreeNX (0.7.1-1.1) RPM, the NX_VERSION string in /usr/bin/ 
nxloadconfig file gets set as 1.5.0-70. Just change this manually.

* I have the following changes in the default node.conf file in my  
servers, which seems to work fine now.

ENABLE_KDE_CUPS="1"
KDE_PRINTRC="$KDEHOME/share/config/kdeprintrc"
ENABLE_CUPS_SERVER_EXPORT="1"

I think that is it. Now printing works just fine inside the NX session.

Special thanks to Fabian.
