1. problems with remote printing under AIX 3.2 (and other remote access problems)
I just installed AIX 3.32 on my R6000/320 and though the install went
smoothly, the R6000 no longer allows remote (tcp/ip) access to the printer. I
did a "complete overwrite install" and then went through and
configured the network and the remote printer access, and have
rebooted several times, stopped started lpd, etc., but I always get
the message: "your host does not have line printer access" back from
the R6000. Printing works OK from the R6000, and interestingly, the
"on" command" works from the remote host and I can type "on ___ lpr "
and the R6000 does print then. I tried both fully qualified and just
the hostname in the /etc/hosts.lpd file. I am trying to print from a
Sun running 4.1.1 as well as other hosts that use BSD style printer
addressing. Before the upgrade, remote printing worked fine.
Another strange (related?) feature is that when I type "rsh" from the
remote host I get "Login incorrect." whereas rsh used to work. It
sounds to me like the network authentication has been messed with.
One last (related?) problem is that I can't get the R6000 to act as a
pcnfs server (after taking the comment out of /etc/inetd.conf) whereas
it used to work as a pcnfs server before.
Any ideas?
