LPRng compile...
Here's what I've been using to compile LPRng source code. Beware that you need the LPRng source as well as LPRng-tools to achieve max utility. The current source code tree is up to 3.8.5... I'd appreicate any feedback on my compile script... beware word wrap/warp... #!/bin/bash ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --with-lockfile='/var/spool/lpd' --with-filter_path=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/shhare/printfilter:/etc/config.d/print/filters:/usr/libexec/LPRng-3.8.5 --with-groupid=lp --with-lpddir='/usr/sbin' --with-admindir='/usr/sbin' --enable-setuid make #make install checkinstall ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K60lpd ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K60lpd ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S60lpd ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S60lpd ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S60lpd ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S60lpd ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K60lpd The above script closely duplicates the Caldera way of compiling LPRng and then creates the needed symlinks for the various init levels. As a side note... I've had all sorts of weird problems with cups in the workstation 3.1 distribution. Sometimes cups works, most times it fails. It seems to me that this is more beta code than user code... but then that's my personal opinion. LPRng on the other hand always worked well and that's what I'm going to use on my personal lan and the production lan at work. However... upgrading ws 3.1 to LPRng is not as clean as Caldera thinks. An LPRng rpm is provided in the 3.1 distro, but atempts to install it result in dependencies being reported. It appears there are a few file names that LPRng and cups use. This sucks. What I've been doing is this... I remove all cups related rpm's using the -nodpes option then go about building LPRng and LPRngTool from sources. If upon executing lpd you see the can't bind to port 515 error... reboot your machine, there's cups stuff still in memory... Going into the various LPRng config files (printcap, etc) is beyond this simple message, but it's all covered in the lprng how-to and faq. Cheers all, there's light at the end of this cups tunnel! ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
QuickBooks Alternative
Does anyone know of a good Linux alternative to Intuit QuickBooks? Or does anyone know of a way to run QB on Linux (Wine supposedly doesn't work)?

Postifix on Redhat 7.2
OK, I've always had a bugger working with sendmail, but I had almost immediate success when I experimented with postfix. Postfix however isn't included with RH7.2 W/S. I found an SRPM for postifix built by redhat, but it needs 'db4-devel' to build. Which was available from the same spot as the Postfix rpms. So I built all the db4 rpms, which obsolete/conflict with the installed db3 packages already there. db4-devel conflicts with db3-devel: (Sorry 'bout the wrap) # [root@innie i386]# rpm -ivh --test ./db4-devel-4.0.14-2.i386.rpm # Preparing... ### [100%] # file /lib/libdb.so from install of db4-devel-4.0.14-2\ conflicts with file from package db3-devel-3.2.9-4 # file /usr/include/db.h from install of db4-devel-4.0.14-2\ conflicts with file from package # db3-devel-3.2.9-4 # file /usr/lib/libdb_cxx.so from install of db4-devel-4.0.14-2\ conflicts with file from package db3-devel-3.2.9-4 I can't remove db3 without causing problems: # [root@innie root]# rpm -e --test db3 # error: removing these packages would break dependencies: # db3 = 3.2.9 is needed by db3-devel-3.2.9-4 # db3 = 3.2.9 is needed by db3-utils-3.2.9-4 # libdb-3.2.so is needed by perl-5.6.0-17 # libdb-3.2.so is needed by sendmail-8.11.6-3 # libdb-3.2.so is needed by python-1.5.2-35 # libdb-3.2.so is needed by nss_ldap-172-2 # libdb-3.2.so is needed by php-4.0.6-7 # libdb-3.2.so is needed by db3-utils-3.2.9-4 # libdb-3.2.so is needed by apache-1.3.22-2 # libdb-3.2.so is needed by pam-0.75-19 So, my question is: Can I safely force the db4-devel rpm to overwrite the db3-files it conflicts with?

NFS Install of Debain Dist ??
Hi All, Back after a break of a while, I subscribed when this list started, but forgot to re-subscribe last year when told to OOpS I have posted a couple of times, but I guess as I was not subscribed, I did not get a reply, Sometimes I just feel really silly. But enough of that. Here is my question and I hope it is a simple one. I have purchased a second hand Toshiba Portege 3110CT Laptop, Its a really tiny laptop, really cool but NO CD. I am looking at doing an Install of Debain (Progeny, or Storm) via NFS. I have breifly played with and got NFS to work before. I am wondering if when I install via NFS I can just share out the CD ROM on the other computer and change CD, or do I need to copy the contents to the Hard Disk and share out where I copy them to. I am also wondering if I need to follow and directory structure, like cd1, cd2, or so on or I can copy them all to the same root drive of the share ?? If anyone has installed via NFS before I would appreciate some guidance. Cheer Shane Broomhall Brisbane Aust attachment: winmail.dat

LVM with vanilla RH 7.2 kernel?
Did somebody have a go at it? I tried to get it working with a standard 2.4 RH kernel, explicitely install everything from rpm packages just to find out that it doesn't work the way it is. The library liblvm.so and the lvm module are missing from the lvm rpm package, so does that mean it isn't supported in the RH's 7.2 kernel or am I overlooking something? In case it's not supported why does the install create /dev/lvm and install lvm?
