moin moin,
there will be a bunch of people from Arizona at SCaLE again this year.
We should try to get together at some point and introduce ourselves.
Please post this email to other lists, so we can reach them as well.
We could meet during the day such as Saturday at 14:30 or Sunday for lunch
Hey Hans,
That sounds like fun. I'd love to volunteer for this.

I would bet that a 400ft cable would work just fine.
I worked in a building where we had a few 600 and 700 ft lines. There were
some intermittent problems, but they usually worked well.
We eventually put in a switch to serve that side of the building, but the
switch was on a 700 ft line and it
Thank you all for the input and experiences. In this case we need to
do live video streaming through the long connection. We are reluctant
to just run a cable that should work so we will use a router or
switch in the middle of the run.
BTW, my reading shows that the distance is a limitation of

OK, you got me started. First the actiontec is a piece of #...@$. It has a
know bug with dns, that has never been fixed.
Dealing with qwest tech is a pain, they will spend at least an hour going
through the simple steps (which is all scripted), before they will escalate

But you have to run a cable either way ?
So if you run the 400 ft, and then test it, if it works with no problems,
you don't need a switch and you save money.
If it's not up to par, you cut the cable in half, and insert the switch, you
had to run two anyway.
Remember also the quality of the
If this were a casual situation, we might do what you suggest. But
using a cable that is too long is known to be a source of intermittent
and odd problems. In this situation we'd rather do it right once and
not worry about errors happening when we least want them.
This is a pretty good if not
I got rid or Qwest a year ago for exactly that reason.
They'd fix my phone lines then DSL would break then they'd fix DSL and mess
up the phone line. Sometimes they'd fix the line they came to fix but then
break my home phone line. Finally I just got tired of dealing with them and
dropped DSL

Hi All,
has anybody got any experience with lprng and samba? I have lprng
working so I can print from the localhost and samba is working as I
can attach shares and all. but when I try to setup a printer in samba,
I am having no real progress. I am running LPRng-3.8.A and
samba-3.2.0-1 on Fedora
I signed up for Price for Life, you sign up for two years, and then you have
the price for life.
After two years, my price went up. I still fighting with them 4 months now.
Everyone I talk to says I should get the lower price, but then they escalate
it and the higher ups who won't talk to me,
Theoretical and Real Life are sometimes not the same.
If you have a good cable tester (expensive), it could help you.

I don't see an rm=machine-name:rp=print-name: entry in your printcap.
This makes me think, that the printer is not shared on the host.
Also where are you printing from ? What OS ?
I know there is a bug in windows media center (at least on my laptop), that
I have not been able to fix.

Hi,
the rm entry from what I can tell is not needed because I have the lp
flag set. Im pretty sure the file is getting to lpd but Im not sure
about debugging from there. I am printing from a windows XP pro
machine.
heres the error I got when I put in the rm entry:
Warning - lp1: 'conflicting
Well I don't believe it should be localhost, maybe the IP of the machine the
printer is connected to.
Are you sure your printer is shared, having an entry in samba doesn't mean
it's shared, it needs to be shared in LPRng.
Have you tried searching for the log files, /var/log/something for cups
I too have over run cable. If you use cable there is rarely a problem. If
there is manually setting the speeds on both ends will often clear it up.
However, for a video feed I would be highly reluctant. Just pay the $35 for
a 4 port 10/100 switch and be done with it. If the line runs though
Can someone bring a 400ft cable to the west side meeting next week, so we

For server I'm using Centos, 5.3 is the current or will be very soon.

Agreed. For servers I usually do CentOS. For Workstations I use Fedora
