samba(2.2.8) printer server (on 4.8-RELEASE)
Hi! I am trying to set up a printer server (SAMBA 2.2.8 package on 4.8 -RELEASE, printer is a Kyocera FS-3700+ laser printer) which should be accessible from Win2000 and WinNT4 workstations _without_ any authentication. These are the steps I have taken so far: 1. I used apsfilter to make the kyocera work locally as a postscript-printer called lp . 2. (Sorry - stupid me forgot to bring home a copy of smb.cfg over the weekend) I edited smb.cfg so that the printer-server and lp itself can be seen in Windows' network enviroment, i.e. I set security = share and put up a share called [printers] browseable = yes path = /var/spool/lpd/lp read only = yes printable = yes guest ok = yes and I # chmod -R 4777 /var/spool/lpd/lp 3. I used windows' printer setup to install the kyocera driver for lp 4. When I try to print something, everything looks fine from the client side and I can see some blinking of the printer-server's LED's but nothing more happens. The windows printer queue stays empty, no files are created in /var/spool/lpd/lp Any ideas, what could be done next?

I guess you have to edit /etc/rc.conf - do have a look at # man rc.conf which lists all options. Regards, Uli. Anyhow, would someone mind taking the time and explain the rc load process on 4.8 to me and why its different in 5 ?

In fact, I must have something on the computer (meaning FreeBSD of some sort) after having used the 'kern' and 'mfsroot' disks. My question is, Do you need to load all the distribution files when it asks you to, or is the OS actually on my system at this point, and I just don't know what the heck (censored) I'm doing. To get clear what happens: 1) You push in your two installation floppies, 2) they are booted from 3) and you reach /stand/sysinstall Main Menu . 4) You select Standard installation and then? Regards, Uli. My problem with the distribution downloads is I apparently have a couple of bad disks, and each time the system finds that it can't access one of the files, it shuts down the loading process. I've finally gotten smart and have vtty2 on the monitor so I can see which disk goes awry, but this doesn't make the process go any easier, since when the loading stops, I have to start the distribution download all the way from the beginning again. Is there anyway to start the distribution download process where it last left off? (This is why I was hoping the CD-ROM route would work - unfortunately NOT!!) I hate beating myself up over this process, but I'm beginning to feel like the ULTIMATE NEWBIE with this. Someone toss me a preserver.

Am I missing something here or is it normal to bypass rc.firewall altogether and set up a rules file with everything needed in there? All the tutorials seem to suggest that ipfw reads rc.firewall first before moving onto custom rules files, but that has not been my experience here.

squid and ipfw ... fwd ...

But when I try the next line # ipfw add 300 fwd 127.0.0.1 tcp from any to any 80 I keep receiving access denied messages from squid.

Are you running netscape7 in linux emulation? It might look for your home directory somewhere in /compat/linux - where it isn't. If this is the case, you could set a link. Regards, Uli.

Re[3]: adduser .. revisited, an alternative
Perhaps this can be helpful: there is an administration tool called webmin (found in /usr/ports/sysutils/webmin) which can be accessed via some graphical browser (either from your local machine or from your network) which helps you to administer users, groups and all kinds of services you run on your machine. Try it when you have some time left to do so.

Re: local copies of packages during their installation
On Sat, 21 Dec 2002, Jörg Meyer wrote: Hello, I've been experimenting with FreeBSD since the day day before yesterday. Coming from the MS-world I am very impressed already. I installed the system from a CD created from the Mini-Iso-Image. Installing packages with pkg_add -r I would like to have local copies of the downloaded tarball in order to create an adapted CD with the packages I really need (just for the case of a new- or re-installation). Of course, all the depending package-tarballs should be download as well - otherwise I could also ftp them manually. Furthermore it would be really nice if the directory structure of the FTP-Server was duplicated locally as well. I know (from experimenting) that make package within the ports collection can archieve something similar (packages are created under /usr/ports/packages if existent). But following this strategy in my opinion has 3 major disadvantages: 1) Compiling packages like XFree86-4 takes quite a long time on my machnine. 2) It is impossible to create a package without installing it. In case of the package is installed already make returns an error telling me to deinstall the package first. 3) dependencies are not considered. make package in /usr/math/mupad only creates a mupad-package but no package for linux_base which is necessary for mupad. Does anyone know a solution to this problem? Don't you make local copies of packages you install(ed)? No, I have a DSL flatrate. Why should I pay extra money for back-up CD-ROMs? They will be outdated next month anyway. Uli. Thanks for each advice in advance.

Re: How do you suspend and resume a remote shell session?
On 21 Dec 2002, Andrew Cutler wrote: Maybe my question wasn't clear enough. I would like to SSH into a box with say my laptop, setup some tasks, run some programs, suspend the connection, unplug and turn off my laptop, and then come back to the same session a few days later, perhaps using a different computer. If I understand you right, you don't want to exit the session, because you are afraid the program you started is going to close, too. This can be prevented by typing anat the end of a command line: # make kernel will go on building and installing a new kernel, though you log out. Sorry, if I misinterpreted your question. Uli. I would also like to be able to do this with XDMCP / remote X. and yes I do rtfm, do u read questions or do u just answer them :) - ouch!

No -- I expect that the command line actually executed will be the same in either case. I guess the advantage of the script is that you have the 'stop' option as well, which you don't get with rc.conf. On the other hand, it's one more script you have to maintain. Personally I'd go with the rc.conf variables and use pppctl to shut down the daemon if I ever needed to, but I think it's down to personal preference at this point.
