Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Well, at least this'll be different than the usual run of printing problems. I'm trying to get printing working from the andrew auis-6.3. When I get that working, I will decide that's far enough, and turn what I've got into a port, but there's a few strange sticking points I'm hitting, that may or may not even be related to auis. The one I'm going to ask you guys is this: I'm hosting the auis stuff on journey2, my 2.0 machine, and the printer on n3lxx, my 1.1.5.1 machine. I have got the printcap on journey2 sending requests to n3lxx, where they seem to be printing fine, but when a request comes from auis, to the journey2 daemon, then to n3lxx to be printed, it causes the lpd daemon on n3lxx to dump core. I noticed that all requests from journey2 to print get to n3lxx /usr/spool/lpd spooling directory as df* files owned by root, but the files that I lpr locally on n3lxx to the n3lxx printer are owned by the user making the request (that's my non-root name, chuckr). Other than that, I can't see anything weird, bcause I can take the file that causes the printer to choke and copy it to /tmp, then if chuckr prints them locally on n3lxx, they print fine (nothing in the file is strange). I should add, my printer is postscript. Anyone got any thoughts on why root should own all print requests from journey2 to n3lxx? Or why else a print request might cause lpd to dump core? Thanks, guys. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 7608 Topton St. | New Carrollton, MD 20784 | I run Journey2 (Freebsd 2.0) and n3lxx (301) 459-2316 | (FreeBSD 1.1.5.1) and am I happy! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
