- My children use my NeXT using their own accounts, but they are too young
- to understand (and remember) passwords. I have now set my computer up to
- receive incoming modem calls. The question is, how can I limit logins
- to my children's accounts to the main terminal only?
-
- What has NS3.0 done to lpr? I used to be able to lpr ASCII files to my
- old Epson FX-86 using a printcap that avoids the PostScript filters. Is
- Now everything that I lpr prints as PostScript code. Is anybody aware
- of a NS3.0 workaround? I don't want anything fancy, just ASCII out the
- serial port.
-
- Finally, why is it that whenever I try:
- cu hostname
- I get an Input error after the modem has been taken off the hook, but when I
- try:
- uucico -shostname -x5
- there is no problem? I was trying to use cu to test my uucp chat scripts,
- but cu only works if I do "cu phonenumber". This last is not critical since
- using uucico is better for debugging the scripts anyways, but I'm curious.
- Thanks,
- Paul
