LPRng: install of source RPM

2004-03-17 Thread Sam Warren
I am running on SUSE. I tried to install the source rpm using rpmbuild
--rebuild 'source.rpm' where source.rpm is the name of the source file. It
complains that I do not have Kerberos5 libraries. SUSE comes with Heimdal
rather than MIT Kerberos. Is there a way with the source RPM to ignore the
Kerberos5 requirements? I saw that if I compiled the tarball I could include
a --disable-kerberos_checks and that would work but I really wanted to use
the source RPMs. Thanks

Jim,

There is no way to change the behavior of Microsoft's LPR implementation. 
Imagine how bad it was when the buffer size was 4K instead of 30K.

I can't find anything about BSD and the push bit delay.

Here's an excerpt from some Linux source (I couldn't find anything else):

+ * LSB of 4-bit field is TCP PUSH bit (a worthless anachronism) and
+ * is logically part of the 4-bit changes field that follows.
To determine whether this is the problem, you should use tcpdump on your BSD box 
and look at the timestamps on the packets.  You may find that after a packet 
with a push bit, there is a delay before the BSD box responds with an ACK. 
200ms may not seem like a long time, but at 10Mb it is.  At 100Mb it's an eternity.

If this turns out to be your problem and you can't find a way to tune the delay 
on a BSD box, then your only solution is to stop using LPR protocol from your 
Windows box.  You will have to use Samba and SMB protocol.  This is a good 
solution unless you are blocking SMB protocol to protect your Windows boxes.

I suppose we should know better than to use a non-Microsoft protocol on a 
Windows box.

Wait!  I have another idea.  You can use a third-party LPR implementation for 
Windows.  There are several available.  I'll bet they don't have this problem.

Finally, if anyone knows how Linux (Red Hat, in particular) handles the push 
bit delay issue, I would appreciate knowing.

-Rick

LPRng: Notes from my recent Linux build of 3.8.26

2004-03-17 Thread Rick Cochran
For Kerberos, LPRng has to be built without setuid.  Otherwise lpr will go
for the Kerberos credentials of the root user and you get this error message:
 Send_auth_transfer: on client krb5_cc_get_principal failed - No credentials 
cache found

As of LPRng-3.8.26, the default of disable-setuid doesn't work under Linux.
You have to specify --disable-setuid.

LPRng: jetdirect errors

2004-03-17 Thread David Bear
I have a jetdirect J3111A card.  It seems to constantly crash dump,
even when NO print jobs are being sent to it.  Yesterday, I updated
the firmware using the jetadmin tool from HP.  Still no improvement.

This is exception 0004
firmware rev g.05.35

I don't think the register dump would be terrible useful but will
post it if needed.

The interface is plugged into an hp laserjet 4600 (color) but it seems
that just sitting on the network will cause this.

anyone have any advice?
