What were you trying to do?
You guys put out a new release last night. The workstation
tried to 'mkserv print' and not everything worked when it was
done.
What's wrong:
The file /usr/athena/lib/ps/psif has an error.
Exerpts from file:
PSLIBDIR=/usr/athena/lib/ps
[...]
BANNERPRO=$PSLIBDIR/banner.pro
PSTEXT=/var/hp/pstext
PSBANNER=/var/hp/psbanner
PSCOMM=/var/hp/hpcomm
Uh, guys, /var/hp does not exist!
What should have happened (this is what it used to look like):
PSLIBDIR=/usr/athena/lib/ps
[...]
BANNERPRO=$PSLIBDIR/banner.pro
PSTEXT=$PSLIBDIR/pstext
PSBANNER=$PSLIBDIR/psbanner
PSCOMM=$PSLIBDIR/pscomm
Also, note that the last line I switched from hpcomm to
pscomm. Granted that hpcomm may be necessary to do neat
and fancy stuff with the hp printers, for those of us using
non-hp printers need to continue using pscomm. (At least
this is true for an LN03.)
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
