Whenever our RS/6000 530 is rebooted someone has to manually start up
nfs stuff (via rc.nfs) and enable the printer queue to a remote
printer.
Obviously something needs to be put in a startup script. If this was a
berkeley system I'd know what to do, but I'm a bit leery of just
charging forward on the IBM. Suggestions? Thanks!

The easiest way to do this would be to use 'smit'. enter smit, then select 'communication applications and services' then 'NFS' then 'Network File System' then 'Configure NFS' then 'Start NFS' This should cause NFS to be restarted automatically on each boot. For the spooler, from the top level menu of smit: select 'Spooler (print jobs...)' then 'Manage remote printer subsystem' then 'client services' then 'remote printer queues' From this point I think you can figure it out. Smit is pretty good, but it can not do everything (it doesn't support all possible options) :-( You should also be able to bypass smit and use your familiar methods to configure your machine. Two words of warning 1) I am NOT a configuration expert. 2) You can sometimes get yourself in trouble if you try to configure something using a mix of smit and the 'traditional' methods. I hope this helps. - Frank Feuerbacher Disclaimer: I don't speak for my employer and they don't speak for me.

A first thought would to look in the /etc/inittab file and see if a
stanza exists for nfs. Normally when you installed NFS, the installation
process should have added a stanza for nfs to be started up. The same
can be said for the printer queue, however, this is started up in the
file /etc/rc.tcpip.
Hope this helps.
Pete.
