Hello, netatalk-admins
We are using netatalk-1.2.1 under SunOS 4.1.2 and in general it works
very well, but spooling to remote Unix printers sometimes fails.
In particular, I found that the "papd" process hangs attempting to open
a socket to a remote (Unix) printer for no apparent reason. I traced
this to a corrupted /var/spool/lpd/LWPlusFonts file that had been
corrupted. This has happened at least twice recently.
This may be just one of those things, but I suspect a Mac may have
attempted to change the font table and corrupted the file so I've made
it read-only (owner root). Any one else noticed this?
Tony.
