hi Net,

i am trying to cut over to smtp mail delivery, but am having a few config
problems. some hosts, such as the garlic.com below seem to be connecting and
giving only their domain name, not the fully qualified host name.

trying to telnet to the scohack's 25 port from garlic.com, i get your
name 'garlic.com' is unknown to me. the /usr/mmdf/log/chan.log is spewing
the below errors. i have run and rerun the scoadmin mail config,
but no combo seems to work.

our host os is sco 3.2.5 using mmdf, our dns is configured, but as garlic.com
is a domain, not a host(aix, using sendmail), no joy...

any suggestions what i have config'd wrong?

thanks in advance, jackc...

1. Stymied by lpd/lpr

Hi,

I'm trying to set up my system to print to a remote networked printer
with its own built in lpd implementation.  The printer requires either
postscript, or DOS (read not unix) text.  As I understand it I have to
specify a filter in the printcap, but no matter what I do all filters
set up in the printcap are completely ignored and raw Unix text is
dumped to the printer (instant staircase).  I've read and re-read the
manpages, I've read the Linux howtos and FreeBSD handbook pages -- I've
poked through the source-code and tried every printcap variation I can
think of.  Filters are still ignored.  Is lpr/lpd completely broken?  Am
I missing something obvious?  Here is my (latest) printcap:

#       $OpenBSD: printcap,v 1.3 1999/09/23 01:31:20 deraadt Exp $

lp|remote line printer:\

:lp=172.17.12.10:rm=172.17.12.10:rp=lp:sd=/var/spool/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
        :if=/usr/local/bin/enscript:

I've installed enscript from the packages as configured it to output to
standard out.  I've also try my own simple script to convert LF/CR. Here
it is:

#!/bin/sh
perl -p -i -e 's/\n$/\r\n/'

I can't see how it matters if these filters are 100% correct since they
never get executed, but perhaps someone will tell me different...
