1. Problem with ATM-interfaces:
The ATM-interfaces still are not working correctly.
Our problem is:
> After the installation and configuration of an emulated LAN -
> (we used the same hostname and IP address as with interface le0,
> which was plugged off and disabled by removing /etc/hostname.le0)
> we had the systems successfully rebooted.
>
> A few weeks later, after I had installed the "Recommended-Patches-Set"
> for Solaris 2.5.1 out of SunSolve CDROM February 1997, the following
> errors appeared during the boot process:
>
> ..
> ..
> The system is coming up. Please wait.
> q93b on ba0: Data Link Up.
> Configuring ATM interfaces: ifconfig: SIOCSIFADDR: lane68:
> cannot assign requested address
There was one answer which pointed me to PATCHes: 104539-01, 104694-02 and 104845-01.
PATCH 104539-01 had been installed before, the others are of minor importance. (In their READMES is the notice: ".. This is a point patch for a specific customer. ..").
I provide some more information about our situation:
Our ATM-Boxes, where the LANE is switched are CISCO, type : LS1010. The software these are running with is: "IOS PNNI Software LS1010-WP-M, Version 11.1(9)".
When the hosts have booted (via le0), the ATM-Interface seems to be running anyhow. (It is not used, because it is not configured correctly.) In this situation we get the following errors: WARNING: laner(lane68): bad control frame (too short), vci=44 or: WARNING: laner: bad control frame (too short).
My question is, does anybody know if the CISCO-Boxes/Software Configuration, which gives these errors, may cause our problems?
2. Problem with Printing from CDE
The problem with the printing is solved:
>Some of our hosts don't print from CDE, e.g. dtmail won't print:
>Our default printer has an ethernet interface and hostname.
Printing from Openwindows' applications and the other applications had been correct, because everything was given explicitely postscript-filtered to the printer.
>From the "errorlog" in ~/.dt I found the lp system was missing the information about the filters on the workstation, so I looked up INFODOC ID: 2097 from SunSolve-CD : "Solaris 2 printer configuration commands - quick reference" and found:
Register bundled PostScript filters using the lpfilter command. From sh:
# cd /etc/lp/fd
# for filt in `ls | sed 's/\.fd//'`
> do
> lpfilter -f $filt -F $filt.fd
> done
#
This did it!
