I am looking for a basic text-to-postscript filter for use with CAP/papif.

I have found one program called lpscript, but it seems to insert bogus
characters either ^L or ^D) at the top of the output file, causing the
laserprinter to choke.

Perl scripts welcome.

Thanks.

Check that you put the mods in place in conf.c and files, and also copied the
correct files to /sys/enet/*

This one bit me this week, after a disk crash and kernel rebuild from a not

We're using CAP 6.0 to let our macs run applications stored on our Suns.

The problem is that files that are on a local Mac hard drive cannot
start up their applications when double clicked upon.  The applications
are stored on a shared disk made available by a CAP AUFS server running
on a Sun Sparcstation 1+.

On page (4) of the AUFS manual page, it recommends rebuilding the
Desktop files "from the Macintosh".  My question is:

	a) Is this the solution to the problem?
	b) How does one rebuild a non-startup disk's desktop file?

Any hints are greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance!

The most likely cause of this is that your Routers on your EtherTalk
Phase 2 network don't all have IDENTICAL zone lists configured into them.

When you open the ADEV it's a lottery as to which Router your Mac will
talk to, and which zone list you'll get back (and get to choose zones
from).

Check the configuration of all your Routers.

Organization: ITRI, Brighton Polytechnic, UK

We have a Mac appletalk network connected to an ethernet backbone through a Shiva Fastpath5. We have CAP 6.0.100 running on our Unix fileserver (Sun4c, SunOS 4.1.1). We now want to run another CAP server on another machine to allow Mac users to access the disks on that machine.

I am unsure as to how to set the /etc/atalk.local file on the second machine. The "mynet" is different, the "mynode" is set to the last 8 bits of the IP address of the second machine. Could the "myzone" be set to the same as the first machine ? In the Fastpath setup you specify the "mynet" and "myzone" for the first machine, what about the second machine ?

At present 'atlook' does not see anything though 'getzones' sees all the available zones. 'atistest' produces the following output:

NBP nbp_timeout: 4 tick timeout on -134220212, 2 remain
NBP SndNBP: sending
NBP nbp_timeout: 4 tick timeout on -134220212, 1 remain
NBP SndNBP: sending
NBP nbp_timeout: 4 tick timeout on -134220212, 0 remain
nbp register error because: couldn't register name - is atis running?

Where is it trying to register the name ? Am I restricted to one CAP server per Fastpath ? Help would be appreciated.

First I'd like to thank everyone who responded to my previous post about
troubles with passive star configurations.  I convinced my boss to let us
go to EtherNet becuase of the large amounts of very large traffic we have
been seeing recently.  My question is: What other equipment do I need    
(besides the Asante cards on order) to connect our macs to our EtherNet
backbone?  Do I need to install the Apple InterNet router software?

Here's a little overview of our system: 
Currently we have a lab of 30 Macs connected to a GatorBox which is
connected to our sun network on campus.  We use the GatorBox to allow
us to mount various directories (which show up on desktops as volumes)
and provide Internet (NNTP, e-mail, FTP,etc) services.

We also have an IBM-side to our lab that is running thin Ethernet and
PC-NFS to accomplish much the same thing as the GatorBox.

Supposing I put Ethernet cards in 10 macs (initially)...what is their
server?  How do I teach them about all the subdirectories on the Uni*
side that I want to mount as volumes?

Do I use AppleShare 3.0?  Are their other products which are better?
(I'd like to stay away from CAP becuase of it's difficulty in setup,
but if it's the best choice, then I'll succumb! :)

As you can probably tell, I'm a bit confused...I know the Mac stuff, and
am learning the Uni* stuff...it's where they mix that I have problems! 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: AppleTalk Router issues
Date: 7 Apr 92 00:54:10 GMT
Organization: The Internet

Hi Folks,

We are implementing an AppleTalk Router(phase II) and have a few implementation dependent issues. 'Inside AppleTalk, Phase II' either does not discuss these issues or is vague. Any comments/suggestions welcome.

1. The number of zone names included in a single ZipExtReply packet may only be derived from the packet length and stepping through each of the zone name entries. Is there any other controlling entity for determining the number of zone name entries in the Extended ZIP Reply packet? e.g. zero zone name length indicating no more entries to follow.

2. If an up and running non-seed Router receives an RTMP Data packet whose first tuple has a network # range different from what it is using, what should it do? Stick to what it has or go with the newly discovered range?

3. The zone names are case insensitive and must have same multicast address. But upper case and lower case for the same name yield different multicast addresses. So, which one is the correct multicast address? One for the upper case name?

4. What should be the destination network # and node id in the DDP header when the packet is sent as a multicast packet? Should they be same as broadcast(0, 0xff)?

5. Is it OK to always store zone names in upper case in the internal tables? This means all ZIP replies and zone list replies will have all zone names in upper case names and not as configured by the user.

6. Should it be possible to connect two or more ports of the same Router to the same network? I don't think this is practical.

7. If we decide to make the Router an NVE by giving it a name, should it have one name per port or just one name for the entire Router? The latter one simplifies topology diagrams in any network management tool.

Guess that is all for now.

I defined ULTRIX_SECURITY in m4.features and everything.

but not any files !!!

The volume I am using is NFS mounted if that makes a difference.

The other thing that bothers me is that I can't read from the volume.  The files
show up but I get a "The file file.name couldn't be read and was skipped (the

Bill:

No one will recommend that you use a passive star at all.

What you should do is purchase an active star repeater for your LocalTalk.

Two quality products spring to mind.  If you also are going to want to 
connect the LocalTalk to the Ethernet, you should consider the Cayman
GatorStar, which is an enhanced GatorBox CS and a 24-port Active Star
LocalTalk repeater all in one package.

Farallon also makes a LocalTalk Active Star Repeater called the "Star
Controller."  Their product is very good, but does not include the 
router functionality.

Nuvotech (actually, it's whoever they just sold their product line to) 
makes an Active star repeater also.  In previous jobs, I heard of problems
supporting this product.  I have no practical experience with it, however.

Hello,

We have several appletalk networks running Appleshare. These currently are 
standalone appletalk networks. We want to move to Novell to streamline our 
number of servers. We would put the networks through an Etherroute or 
Webster gateway to connect to Novell. 
My question is regarding performance on the net. Would it be better to 
continue using Appleshare on the Macintosh servers and gateway them to the 
ethernet or use the gateway to get to Novell? We have heard varying 
responses going either way. If Novell is the solution then, we are told, the 
gateways are too slow to handle the traffic. 
Has anyone got information relating to the performance of each.

Thanks in advance

The only additional option that I would add is:

3. Get a stand-alone LocalTalk to Ethernet router. (e.g. Shiva Fastpath
   or Cayman GatorBox).

This would allow you to always run the Macitosh on Ethernet.  The LocalTalk
printer(s) would be addressable from the Ethernet via the router.

By the way, your other two options are also valid.

instead Unix was using the "770" ports. When I changed the GatorBox to the
correct port numbers everything worked well. 
To see what the problems you are having you could check what is being sent by
the Unix machine(s) by using one of the EtherNet snoop programs. This should
tell you what request are being sent to the gateway box and what is being

I dont know how to prevent people who know passwords
from posting them.  :-)   Neither does my company --
so it looks like we'll get a policy statement that says
'No unauthorized ARA servers', and only the Info Srvcs Dept
can provide this service.  I think Apple needs to give us
a better choice than "one machine or whole network";
how about a way to specify a list of zones that a server
can access?

This is what the Apple hot-line told me too, but it doesnt
work that way.  We experimented with multiple SecurityZones,
in different collating sequences, and ARA apparently searched
through all of them.  Then Apple checked some more and said,
'Yes, that's how it got released'.  I dont know if there are
multiple versions that work different ways.  The new exposure
is that anyone who can set up a router can now setup their own
security zone to get access.
