I used the "network install" while logged in as root. The install went fine except for the fact that I can't manage to print anything when I log in as a regular user. The error I get indicates that there must be a temporary file written to /usr/tmp which is then piped from 'cat' into 'lpr'. I keep getting a 'cat: /usr/tmp/xprnxxx No such file or directory'. When I 'su root' and try the same exercise, printing works fine. I've checked the ownership and permissions on /usr/tmp and the ownership is 'root wheel'. The permissions are rwx for user and group, and rwt for other. This sounds like a dumb mistake on my part, but I can't seem to put my finger on it. Likewise, an archive search reveals little. -- cheers, allan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
