- I'm having some problems getting NOS LPD to work. Specifically, the
- system hangs when I try to do "start lpd". If I take the "start lpd"
- command out of AUTOEXEC.NET, then NOS works fine -- I can ping other
- systems, telnet to them, etc., and can even ping the NOS box if I've
- started the echo server. But as soon as I type "start lpd", NOS
- hangs. NumLck still toggles the LED, but I can't hit Ctrl-Break or
- F10 to get a prompt, and I have to reboot.
-
- My printcap file is pretty simple:
-
- #
- # example printcap for NOS LPD
- #
-
- # Laser II printer on LPT1.
- #

- :af=/etc/lp-acct:\
- :lf=/etc/lpd-log:\
- :lp=LPT1:\
- :pl#66:\
- :pw#80:\
- :sd=/spool/lpd/lp1:\
- :sh:\
-
- I'm using the SLIP8250 packet driver, with the following AUTOEXEC.NET:
-
- attach packet 0x60 sl0 35 1024
- ifc sl0 ip 192.84.21.2 netm 0xffffff00 broad 192.84.21.255
- route add default sl0
- start echo
- start discard
- start ftp
- start smtp
-
- Any ideas?
