Sorry for the confusion. I am replacing a box that acts as a print
server for a LAN consisting of 11 machines, all running centos 5.2, and
occasionally a lappie or two thrown in. The new box is/was the machine I
had the issue on. It now appears to be "solved" after I scp'd the
config file over for the second time. Not sure what I clutzed up the
first time but the config file was apparently the issue. Since I
overwrote the offending config file I have no way of knowing what the
difference was. Looking at the working config file it appears to me to
be box stock, as was the non-working one.
Thanks much for all the help and my apologies for being a bit pig-headed
about the config file.
Cheers,
B.J.
