Help! CAP lwsrv does not want to print

We have installed Cap6.0 on our SGI Iris workstation to use
it as a File and Printer server. The first feature works except when we use
the Yellow Pages with an alternate passwd file. In fact, with NIS service,
we need two passwd files (/etc/passwd and /etc/passwd.nis), the first
containing the system administration passwds and the second one, the 
users passwds.
How can we specify the second passwd files to be taken into account by
aufs?

The main problem is making lwsrv work. The LaserWriter is connected to the 
Iris workstation, and we use lpr as a spooler. When we try to print files 
from the Mac (running System 7), the starting job status appears in the 
PrintMonitor window as if the files were sent to the LaserWriter. 
Unfortunately, the LW doesn't seem to receive anything. However, the test 
programs like atlooklw or tlw seem to recognize the printer. lwsrv is 
started by 

"${CAP}/lwsrv -n "LW_IRIS" -p  "lp" -N ${LWARGS} with LWARGS="-a
${LIB}/procset
 -f ${LIB}/LWFonts".

We have copied the LWFonts file from the applications/lwsrv directory. We
have 
created a procset directory in which we have put an Appledict file (even 
though we are not sure this is necessary under System 7). This 
file contains the lines from BeginProcSet and EndProcSet lines included 
obtained from a Poscript file written by our Mac. Is it correct ? Any 
solution to our problem ? Our Cap version is level 126. 

Any help welcome!!!

Sincerely,                      Gildas PERROT.
