I don't remember if its been mentioned in this newsgroup yet or not, but everyone here who has upgraded to 3.1G has run across this problem, so I thought I'd mention it (again?): After the upgrade, you may notice that the lp spooler is not working properly. This is because the permissions on the /usr/spool/lp directory are inconsistent. Some of the symptoms may be: the lp command hangs, the lpstat command hangs, the scheduler is stopped, and some other minor anomilies which I don't quite understand (having to do with FIFO and SCHEDLOCK). To "fix" the problem, change the owner of the /usr/spool/lp directory to lp: chown lp /usr/spool/lp Everything seems to work quite nicely again. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tony Facca | phone: 216-433-8318 NASA Lewis Research Center | Cleveland, Ohio 44135 | email: fsfacca@lerc08.lerc.nasa.gov -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
