Hi,
I'm sorry to repeat this posting, but I've only had one reply.
(That could be because I managed to wreck my sendmail later in the day
(after the original post -- sorry about any bounces). )
I'm getting rather desperate to know the answer to this, because I
don't want to have to become an expert on netatalk and CAPS just to
find the answer.
Surely someone must know ...
I've inherited a site that runs a little bit of netatalk and a little
bit of CAPS and I'd like to "iron out" the system, by reinstalling one
or the other.
Two of my requirements are:
- to be able to do per-user printer accounting,
- to be able to do licence metering (on applications),
(CAPS appears to be able to do this. That is, to have
applications installed on the server, but limited in usage by netatalk
according to how many licences I tell it we have for each application.)
I've had a look in the FAQ, etc and I can't see the answers there.
Could someone let me know if netatalk can do this, so that I know
which way to go (I'd prefer to go with netatalk if possible -- it appears
to be superior in many other ways).
