The PATHWORKS Guest account could be a  G factor if these users don't have individual accounts in this domain or  I aren't passing a username when establish a session ($ admin sh user/full  K guest).

P However the CL specs usualy are different for the different bus speeds. A PC100 O dimm can have a CL322 rating when used on 100MHz, and a CL222 rating when used  N on 66MHz. A dimm has a small spd chip that should tell the system what the CL M settings are, and on which bus speeds the dimm can be used. However many spd  " chips contain invalid information.  N I'm using compaq PC66 dimms that came from a big Intel server, they work fine.  K The PWS500 supports a maximum of 1.5 GB, but with VMS a maximum of 1 GB is  N supported. The PWS was primarely designed for WinNT, the hardware design does M not have the same quality as systems that were primarely designed for VMS or   Tru64.   ------------------------------  # Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2005 11:30:16 GMT 4 From: Mike Rechtman <michael.rechtman.nospam@hp.com>+ Subject: Re: Remote queue on a linux server & Message-ID: <4242C0E7.4F073BD7@hp.com>   Maurizio wrote:  > d > Mike Rechtman <michael.rechtman.nospam@hp.com> wrote in message news:<42418CB9.5984B718@hp.com>... > > Maurizio wrote:  > > > 	 > > > HI,  > > >  > > > I need your help.  > > > - > > > I've a Digital PC with OpenVms V.7.1-2.  > >          ^^^^^^^^^^^ > >          Wazzat? > > > O > > > Some weeks ago, I'd to change my HD but my image backup wasn't very good.  > > > E > > > So, after restore, I'd some problems with a remote print queue. 9 > > > I've a linux print server with an OCE 9400 Plotter.  > > > ( > > > I defined print queue in this way: > > > $ > > > $$$ init/queue oce8 /on=oce8:: > > > B > > > But when I try to start my queue, this message is displayed: > > >  > > > $$$ start/queue oce8@ > > > %JBC-E-NOSUCHNODE, remote node is unknown or not reachable > > > + > > > I ping this host (oce8) successfully:  > > >  > > > UCX> ping oce8# > > > %UCX-I-LOOPACT, OCE8 is alive  > > >  > > > Please help me > > > 
