- We have installed Cap6.0 on our SGI Iris workstation to use
- it as a File and Printer server. The first feature works except when we use
- the Yellow Pages with an alternate passwd file. In fact, with NIS service,
- we need two passwd files (/etc/passwd and /etc/passwd.nis), the first
- containing the system administration passwds and the second one, the
- users passwds.
- How can we specify the second passwd files to be taken into account by
- aufs?
-
- The main problem is making lwsrv work. The LaserWriter is connected to the
- Iris workstation, and we use lpr as a spooler. When we try to print files
- from the Mac (running System 7), the starting job status appears in the
- PrintMonitor window as if the files were sent to the LaserWriter.
- Unfortunately, the LW doesn't seem to receive anything. However, the test
- programs like atlooklw or tlw seem to recognize the printer. lwsrv is
- started by
-
- "${CAP}/lwsrv -n "LW_IRIS" -p "lp" -N ${LWARGS} with LWARGS="-a
- ${LIB}/procset
- -f ${LIB}/LWFonts".
-
- We have copied the LWFonts file from the applications/lwsrv directory. We
- have
- created a procset directory in which we have put an Appledict file (even
- though we are not sure this is necessary under System 7). This
- file contains the lines from BeginProcSet and EndProcSet lines included
- obtained from a Poscript file written by our Mac. Is it correct ? Any
- solution to our problem ? Our Cap version is level 126.
-
- Any help welcome!!!

- Sincerely, Gildas PERROT.
