Assuming the printer is already configured,
PS files: all you should need to do is "lpr filename.ps"
PDF files: you need a converter like pdf2ps (from ghostscript package)
then do "pdf2ps filename.pdf - | lpr"
You can of course specify further options for lpr and pdf2ps as needed.
See their respective man pages for more info.

Swap under linux is a partition of the disk or a swapfile instead.
if you still have space left on your hard disk you can create a new partition
or increase de one you have it now, the partition must be of linux swap type.
See de _fdisk_ man page for this.
If you do not have space for a new partition, you can create a swap file (see
_mkswap_ man page for an explanation).

Date: Sat, 26 May 2001 06:35:27 GMT
I just installed RH 7.1 and I did NOT configure the firewall during the
install (I will go back and do that later after I get everything up and
running. Besides, nothing is on this system but the Linux OS). Anyway,
I am trying to get the Apache web server and the FTP server up and
running. I went through the steps in RH's "Customization Guide" but I
can not connect to either server. From my linux system I CAN pull up my
web page but I can NOT access if from another system (i.e. from work).
How do I get access from outside my system, and let everyone else have
access too?
I also can not connect to my FTP server. I get an "access denied"
message. Any ideas? Thanks for any help.
Lamar

lpr filename.ps
You don't tell us what kind of pronter you have or what operating system, or
anything else and you expect intelligent answers?

makes complete sense from an engineering point of view.
Banks could make their money-handling machinery do double duty.
and large amounts of money-handler equipment was already in

Of course it would. You should have done it by now instead of asking! Run both ssh
and sshd in verbose mode.
Are you sure you do not have some old entry in ~/.ssh/known_hosts? (You do have the
remote machines identity.pub line in known_hosts don't you? Youdo have the
RSAAuthentication yes

Are you only seeing the docs (static files)
when you are looking at localhost? Is httpd
actually running?

You need to 1. enable ftp and 2. make sure hosts.allow allows it.

no..it used to be that nearly all character-cell terminals were 80 columns
because Hollerith cards were 80 columns.

Kernel 2.4.5 on Mandrake 8 crashed my PC early in boot,
when the swapper process was being started (I think).
The default 2.4.3 kernel boots OK, and so does a 2.4.4 kernel
I built myself (had to update /boot/initrd*.img with 2.4.4's reiserfs.o).
Anyone else having problems with 2.4.5?

I can see the "Powered by RedHat" index page. I then copied my web page into
the /var/www/html directory with a new index page. The last command I ran
was "# service httpd restart" just like the book said.
Do you have an example of what hosts.allow would look like if someone had
access rights?

|Yes, you are using the useradd -p parameter I suspect. Useradd expects an

If you write the script in Perl (and probably Python) there is a crypt function
just for this purpose. You will need to look up the manual for it, and read the
description of 'salt' and how it works.
