vswitch for everyone

2009-04-15 Thread Andrew Avramenko
Colleagues, Does anybody know is it possible to create vswitch which will be unaware to access permissions, so every guest can connect to it and I don't need to run modify vswitch grant access every time? Thank You in advance. -- With best regards, Andrew

Hi Marcy, If you are using the lin_tape driver and udev you can use static naming by using /dev/lin_tape/by-id/wwpn-IBMtape. I am not quite sure about the old IBMtape driver, but if you are using that one it is about time to move to lin_tape anyway. Best regards, Pieter Harder

You need to specify a filter that processes ANSI formatting. Try -f on the lpr command. You can define sets of CUPS options and use them similar to a form code, but AFAIK, there isn't a autodetect for rotation. You could easily write one as a filter; the CUPS code provides sufficient exits to
