Question 1: I have some applications that utilizes the System V ipc features, namely the semop(2) and msgop(2) calls. I wonder if there is a library that emulates these system calls, so that they'll work across a network? For instance, our database lockmanager runs on the server. To access the database from another machine, one has to perform an rlogin/telnet/rsh to the server, otherwise the application can't get in touch with the lockmgr, since it runs on another machine. There is no real problem with the database itself, since it can be accessed via NFS. We're using SysV r3.2 (ISC 2.2) and are running their TCP/IP and NFS. Question 2: In the same environment as above: How do one submit a print job from a client to the printer attached to the server? All I could find in the documentation, was some references to a Dos printer server. Question 3: Is it possible to share devices (/dev/*), such as tty-ports across TCP/IP? That was all my questions for today - thanks :-) -- Stig Jacobsen shj@login.dkuug.dk / sysadm
