[alt.sys.sun] CM problems

dcox@tweety.ssd.kodak.com (Don Cox (253-7121)) (12/14/90)

[Sun4/260, SunOS4.0.3, OpenWindows Version2]

One of the users on my network has moved to another machine.  The
name of his old machine was happy, so his calendar info was in
happy:/usr/spool/calendar/callog.<username>.  He has moved to a
new machine called sleepy, and I am trying to rcp this file from
his old machine into /usr/spool/calendar on his new to retain all
of his calendar appointments.  When I call up his calendar on the
new machine it keeps coming up blank.  Is there more to it than
just copying over this file?  Has anyone come up with a better way
of accessing this information?  It's kind of a pain always having to
login to the same machine to check your own calendar.

Thanks.

Make sure you restart the cm daemon.

You need to make sure that the permisssions on /usr/spool/calendar are
drwxrwsrwt (1777 I think), and that both the owner and the group are
daemon.
Then, you need to restart rpc.cmsd.  I have had problems where this
would
not work, but after setting it up correctly, and rebooting the machine,
all is well.

System:   SunOS 4.1.1 on a SparcStation 2 with X11R4

Problem:  Can't get CM to work properly.  First it complains about
          a missing font, and then all kinds of error messages
	  are generated when I view by the month.  Here are the error
	  codes generated:

-jc-  [raven: /home/local/X11R4/Sun4/lib/fonts] % cm &
[2] 19195
-jc-  [raven: /home/local/X11R4/Sun4/lib/fonts] % XView warning: Cannot load fon
t '-b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-sans-*-90-*-*-*-*-*-*' (Font package)
XView warning: Cannot load font '-b&h-lucida-bold-r-normal-sans-*-90-*-*-*-*-*-*
' (Font package)
XView warning: invalid object (not a pointer), xv_get
XView warning: invalid object (not a pointer), xv_get
XView warning: invalid object (not a pointer), xv_get
XView warning: invalid object (not a pointer), xv_get

[..Lots of the Xview warnings...]

	  So, I thought that perhaps the font path was a problem.  I tried
	  doing a 'xset fp+ /usr/openwin/lib/fonts' but I got the following
	  error:

-jc-  [pitch: /usr/openwin/lib/fonts] % xset fp+ /usr/openwin/lib/fonts/
X Error:  BadValue
  Request Major code 51 ()
  Request Minor code 0
  ResourceID 0x3
  Error Serial #4
  Current Serial #6

	  
	  Could someone please explain to me what is going on?  I work
	  on another machine which is very similiar to this and I have
          no such problems.  

Thank you for your time.
