Have installed kernel 2.4.2 Everything except the printer work. printtool
don't detect any printer on /dev/lp0 dev/lp1 or dev/lp2
Printer works fine in my old kernel 2.2.16. I belive I have compiled
correctly, have added support for parallel port and PC style parallell port.
How can I check that Linux detects the parallellport?

Ahhh. Thanks for all the info in the last few days. Do you have any
idea why on "valis" I have to mount the zip disk as /dev/sdc, and on
"ubic" I have mount the *same* disk as /dev/sdc4?!? Id this due to a

The only thing I can imagine is that in one machine /dev/sdc have the
major/minor number that correspond to the /dev/sdc4 of the other
machine or it is a link to /dev/sdc4. As you know the major/minor
number in the file is a "pointer" to the correspondig kernel module
that "drive" the device...

Yes man, hp 4050n, where the n means it has its own ethernet card,
YMMV. It was as simple as this:
$ cat /etc/printcap
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:rm=130.237.191.161:\
:rp=raw:
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/null:
(this for a networked printer). The nice thing is that you can then
share this printer simply via samba, just install the driver from hp's
site. The printer apparently understands whether you send it
PostSCript of the native language so you don't even need separate
printer queues.
Don't bother installing the adminisration stuff on the windows
machines, it's huge and require times if you want to configure many
windows boxes. Better go for the driver only. You can configure the
printer directly with telnet. There was an administration tool for
unix also but didn't work for me. Don't know whether the telnet
interface has all the features though - but I don't need more.
So my reasoning is:
1) printer can be either attached on the net or on a unix
machine. Don't know about attaching it to a windows machine.
2) printer shared via samba (using one unix machine as a fake printer
server if the printer is on the net) - install only driver on win
machines, don't need any special software since you use windows'
native sharing.
3) unix clients can either print via the fake server or directly to
the printer (same printcap as above on all unix machines, or just
substitute the server's IP).

Subject: QUESTION on the ide-scsi module
Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2001 14:44:22 -0700
I'm running RedHat7.0 (kernel 2.2.16) on a Dell 620 workstation. To
mount
an Iomega zip drive I was told that I had to load the ide-scsi module
into the kernel (insmod
/lib/modules/2.2.16-22enterprise/scsi/ide-scsi.o).
a) What, exactly, does this module do? From my vague understanding, I
think
it interprets between IDE and SCSI protocol.
b) By loading this module, does it turn all IDE devices into effective
SCSI devices?
I have two internal SCSI hard drives (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb, with Win2K
residing on the first and Linux on the second). I also have three IDE
devices: an Iomega zip drive (/dev/hda), and two CDROM's (/dev/hdb and
/dev/hdc). Upon loading the ide-scsi module, the zip drive is then
referenced by /dev/sdc (the 3rd SCSI device). Do the CDROM's then
become /dev/sdd and /dev/sde (4th and 5th)? If so, then would I manually
mount them as "mount -t iso9660 /dev/sdd /mnt/cdrom"?
Thanks for any info you can provide.

The answer came from apache.org/docs:
15.Why do I get a "Forbidden/You don't have permission to access / on this
server" message
whenever I try to access my server?
Search your conf/httpd.conf file for this exact string: <Files ~>.
If you find it, that's your problem -- that
particular <Files> container is malformed. Delete it or replace it
with <Files ~ "^\.ht"> and restart
your server and things should work as expected.
This error appears to be caused by a problem with the version of
linuxconf distributed with Redhat
6.x. It may reappear if you use linuxconf again.

I'm afraid what you have can not be SuSE 7.1 from SuSE then.
Check out an update from www.linuxiso.org. They have an exerpt from an

It will translate the SCSI command into IDE command to allow you to

Only if you want to. You can tell to your kernel to leave alone some
IDE device and turn it into a SCSI device (with the parameter
hdX=ide-scsi)

As I said, if you want. Of course, if you have the IDE CDRom support
installed your CDs will still be seen as IDE.

Most recent distributions will just work. RedHat 7, for example,

Other than that, the "hard" way to do it is to edit
/etc/X11/XF86Config:
[...]

ZAxisMapping 4 5

The easiest way to do it is to get XFree86-4.0.xxx.src.rpm and the
Xconfigurator from the same directory from your favorite RedHat
rawhide mirror (or redhat 7, I supose). Then:
rpm --rebuild XFree86-4.0.xxx.src.rpm
rpm --rebuild Xconfigurator-xxx.src.rpm
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/*
(it takes quite a while to compile, but just let it work)

Pam chats like that. You should be using pam to do shadowing and

You forgot to compile in printer support (there are *2* places you
need to mark it in the kernel), or you don't have the module loaded

Typically, all foriegn drives (floppy, CDROM, Windows, etc.) go under
the /mnt directory like this:
/mnt/cdrom
/mnt/cdrw
/mnt/floppy
/mnt/server
/mnt/zip
So you could NFS mount something like this:
mount -t nfs servername:/remote/path /mnt/server
(and add it to /etc/fstab if you do it often enough)
