Subject: Need help on remote printing sVr4 to sVr4

Alright, I give up.  How do I get my Esix sVr4.0.4 boxes to send
printer requests to the one central Esix server that has the printer?

More specifically:  I have several Esix sVr4.0.4 boxes, all on the
network.  One (ptdca0) is a fileserver with an HP Laserjet II with a
postscript cartridge.  There are several others on the net that I
want to have set up so that lp requests get forwarded to the server.
I think I've followed the directions (if that's what you'd call them)
correctly, but it still doesn't work from the remote systems.

The server's printer is set up with the following configuration file:
	Banner: on
	Content types: PS
	Device: /dev/tty00
	Fault: beginning
	Interface: /usr/lib/lp/model/PS
	Printer type: PS
	Modules: default
The /etc/lp/Systems file has the line
	ptdca2:x:-:s5:-:n:10:-:-:no comment, please
The lpstat -t output says
	scheduler is running
	system default destination: laser
	members of class postscript:
		laser
	postscript accepting requests since Thu Oct 15 12:58:34 PDT 1992
	laser accepting requests since Thu Oct 15 13:21:54 PDT 1992
	printer laser is idle. enabled since Thu Oct 15 13:22:21 PDT 1992. available.
	character set 

This printer works wonderfully for anything printed from an lp command
on the server: ASCII, troff, and postscript.

On the remote system (ptdca2), the configuration file looks like
	Content types: PS
	Printer type: PS
	Remote: ptdca0!laser
with an /etc/lp/System entry of
	ptdca0:x:-:s5:-:n:10:-:-:Fileserver's printer
The lpstat -t output is
	scheduler is running
	system default destination: laser
	system for laser: ptdca0 (as printer laser)
	laser accepting requests since Thu Oct 15 20:28:56 GMT 1992
	printer laser is idle. enabled since Thu Oct 15 20:29:06 GMT 1992. available.
	character set 
	any-2                   snelson          15165   Oct 15 20:52

Both systems have the lpNet process running.  Normal network connections
are fine (rlogin, telnet, rcp, nfs, ...).  When I submit an lp request to
the remote system, the request is queued up and sits there forever.

What am I missing?  What else do I need to check?  Help me, Mr Wizard!

The I/O error on write is typically returned when the write() call
has actually run out of tape to write to.  Are you sure you are at
the beginning of the tape?  mt has an option to rewind the tape,
i.e. mt -f device_name rewind.  If you are at the beginning this
command will return immediately.  Another source of problems is if
there is an EOT marker at the beginning of the tape.

I typically get these messages when I tell cpio how long the tape
is, but because of media errors I in turn use more tape up then I 
told cpio.  Therefore it continues streaming thinking there is more
tape, but in fact runs out as some was passed over because of bad media

The passwords in /etc/d_passwd are in the same format as passwords in
/etc/passwd or /etc/shadow: a two-character "salt" value, followed by
the 11-character ciphertext of the password.  You can write a simple
program that, given a salt and a plaintext password, will call
crypt(3) and print the results, and then use this program to generate
the encrypted passwords.  Or, you can create a dummy user, change
their password to your desired dialup password, then cut-and-paste
their password from /etc/shadow into /etc/d_passwd.  Don't forget to
remove the dummy user when you're done, or you'll have a nice little
security loophole.

It should be detected automatically.

I'm running two V.32 modems on an AST 4-port that uses 16450's and I
don't lose any characters (running stock 3.2.2 drivers).  I know of
people that did have problems and installed 16550's and it helped.

You could also try using FAS under 3.2.4 which would improve performance
even more, and give you full-duplex RTS/CTS flow control.

Err, in *some* SunOS releases on *some* processors, it does so.

It didn't do so on the 68K Suns until 4.1 or 4.1.1 or so; the problem is
that there's some amount of context information required to continue the
faulting instruction, and that information wasn't saved until the
release in question.

It should work OK on SPARC and 386-based Suns.

I.e., it's not a question of whether SVR4 supports it, it's a question
of whether SVR4 *on the platform in question* supports it (although it
probably does, in order to make the Bourne shell work, unless they back
the SIGSEGV hack out in SVR4, as we had to do at one point in SunOS).

In SVR4, that's done as well, although in a different form.

The problem is probably that HP printers don't default to 66 lines

You have to fiddle the initialization strings to squash the

initialization string I send to my Tandy lp1000 putting it in 66
line mode and 16 pitch (this is a termcap definition where \E

Packard Bell builds there machines by subcontracting them out to the lowest

Looking for Information
=======================

A few weeks ago I heard a statement at our local university, that
the IPC-modules semaphores, shared memory and message queues have
been integrated into System V in a very poor way. 
This means, that integration of these kernel modules into the overall
concept of Unix, the way they did it in System V, introduces some 
problems, like a missing "select"-call on message queues or a notification, 
when a process was killed. A possible explanation for this could
be, that these modules have been designed as a temporary solution, 
but not as a permanent part of System V.

I'm interested in any reference or literature concerning this 
statement or any related stuff. I want to use it for a project
I'm working on at the moment.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Jan.

I am running into trouble trying to run cm on a Sun server, SunOS 4.1.2, OW3
and display to a 386 running Intel SYSVR4.0.3 with an oldish version of
X11R3 and olwm.  Is it theoretically possible?  (does it require NeWs?)

The error I get is unable to access font -b&h-lucida-sans(etc.), which I
know is the default OW font.  I have tried starting cm on the Sun with -font
fixed, -font '-adobe(etc)' and it can't find those either.  xlsfonts on the
Sun does not show b&h lucida, so I am unclear where cm running on the Sun
finds it.  I can run all sorts of source-based X stuff on the Sun, as well
as some commercial stuff (eg xv and IslandWrite), so things are not
completely hosed.  Suggestions?

I would also like to know if there is any way without user intervention to
tell which host someone is logging in from to set the DISPLAY environment
variable.  I have hit on the idea of parsing the output of the 'who am i'
command with sed.  Any easier or better ideas?

I just upgraded from the X11R3 that came with ISC 2.2.1 to XFree86.  

The problem I'm having is that XFree xterms don't set the LINES
environment variable like the X11R3 xterms did.  This causes things like
vi and more to think I have a very large window when I don't.  

Other systems seem to use the rows setting of stty, but ISC, at least
in my version doesn't support rows.

Anyway I can get this set automatically?  Its a pain to have to remember
to type setenv LINES all the time.

	Hi,

I'd like to know if the Micropolis 1908 (?), 1,6 Gb disk works on a
386 based PC running Interactive 3.2.

Can somebody send me a valid /etc/partitions file or the
characteristics of this disk ?  It has more than 1024 cyl. is that a
problem ?

Thank you for your help,

  ,

You can write DC600A tapes in a 150 M byte drive, but SCO will
only allow you to put 60 M bytes on the tape.  Regular 60M
byte drives (old Sun style) will not be able to read your tapes
produced on the 150 M byte drives, but the 60 M tapes produced
on the older drives can be read on the 150 M byte drives.

Sort of like high density - low density floppies under DOS...
