Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I am attemping to set up a print server using PCNFS under 2.1R. I am testing with is a laptop running Novell's tcp/ip software. I do a: net link lpt1: \\\ and all I get back is invalid removte device. For printer name I am using lp, which is in the printcap. This same command seems to work on our HP server. The messages file does indicate I get logged in, and if I leave off the username and password I get an authorization error. Any Idea on how to make this work, or any log files that can be checked for error messages? Does Novell do something non-standard with the PCNFS printing? Oh, and what about exporting the directory that PCNFS uses for file transfer. I exported the file system with -alldirs, but this seems like a security hole. Ron Steele
