On etch (cupsys_1.2.7-4etch2 and samba_3.0.24-6etch9):
=====
root at tinello:/home/luca# cupsaddsmb -a
Password for root required to access /var/run/cups/cups.sock via SAMBA:

Password for root required to access /var/run/cups/cups.sock via SAMBA:

When called without specifying any server, the default SAMBA server
wasn't set.  This was reported upstream in STR #2556 and fixed in SVN
r7033 (included in Debian version 1.3.4-1).  Backporting the upstream
patch fixes the bug in cupsys_1.2.7-4etch2:
