One of my colleagues solved the problem. I had the following line
commented out in /etc/inetd.conf (too much security :-)
# Print Protocol Adaptor - BSD listener
#
printer stream tcp nowait root /usr/lib/print/in.lpd
in.lpd
I get the feeling none of that remote print server stuff I mentioned
below is necessary any longer since Solaris 2.6. Can anyone confirm
that?

Subject: pmadm: Database file is not at the current version

I am trying to set up a printer on Host A so that other hosts can use
it as a remote printer, so basically I am trying to set up host A as a
print server.
Host A is running solaris 2.6 with latest patches.
I am following directions in a solaris 2.3 manual because i can't find
anything to do with remote print servers in 2.6. (Does this mean it
has changed totally?; Last time I think i did this successfully it was
in solaris 2.5)
"sacadm -l" shows:
PMTAG PMTYPE FLGS RCNT STATUS COMMAND
tcp listen - 9999 STARTING /usr/lib/saf/listen
tcp #
zsmon ttymon - 0 ENABLED /usr/lib/saf/ttymon
and then in the past I have typed:
pmadm -a -p tcp -s lp -i root -m 'nlsadmin -o
/var/spool/lp/fifos/listenS5' -v'nlsadmin -V'
pmadm -a -p tcp -s 0 -i root -m 'nlsadmin -c /usr/lib/saf/nlps_server
-A '\x00020ACE000000000000000000000000'' -v 'nlsadmin -V'
which is what I thought you had to do to be able to type
"telnet hostA printer" (while logged into hostA) but it says
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
and when I look at the log file I get
# cat /var/saf/tcp/log
02/29/00 10:56:09; 10326; @(#)listen:listen.c 1.19.9.1
02/29/00 10:56:09; 10326; Listener port monitor tag: tcp
02/29/00 10:56:09; 10326; Starting state: ENABLED
02/29/00 10:56:09; 10326; Database file is not at the current version
02/29/00 10:56:09; 10326; *** listener terminating!!! *
HOW do I make sure "Database file is at the current version"? What is
it talking about?
BTW, Host A is currently running in the year 2000 and has all
necessary y2k patches applied.
please reply to Marina.Daniels@cs.tas.gov.au
