Previously reported problems no corrected:

X Window setup

Remote Printer Setup & Test

Networking (partial - see below)


New Problems:

A. Nameserver line from the dbox not parsed.  Set to /etc/resolv.conf
as is, which is stupid:
  
1. The first line in /etc/resolv.conf should be "search <domain>". 
This <domain> is not collected by the dbox.

2.  Multiple nameservers should be parsed out and set to
/etc/resolv.conf one per line with a    "nameserver " prefix.

B.  /etc/hosts is not set up.  This means that only IP numbers, not
names, may be used in the remote lp dbox.

1.  The  host names and their IPs for /etc/hosts should be collected
by a new dbox and set to /etc/hosts  This must be done before remote
lp setup and testing.

C.  Default route is not set up.   For gateway machines a new dbox
should collect the interface for the default route and set it up.  
For LAN machines the gateway address should be set as the default
route.

D.  /etc/hosts.lpd is not set up on networked machines with a local
printer.  A new dbox is necessary to collect this information.
