Hi netters

I just sucessfully upgraded to 3.0. Most of the things are running perfectly  
and the system has only crashed once when trying to move a directory from an  
external 2.1 disk to the internal 3.0 disk. (The 2.0 disk required 5 fsck  
passes to be "cleaned" - but I have a full backup.) I even managed to get  
appletalk to work and can share files with our macs.

BUT: I cannot print directly to the apple laser via (ethernet) AppleTalk. I  
noticed that 3.0 has more configuration information files for printing than  
2.1, but I did expect the appletalk stuff to work. I installed and enabled  
apple talk as mentioned in the docu. I created a new printer with the  
printermanager application as given in the man pages to apple talk an if I send  
something to print, it shows up in the queue and the lamps on the printer start  
to blink indicating incoming data, but nothing is actually printed. The  
EtherTalk <-> AppleTalk gateway is an old GatorBox. Printing from a Mac causes  
no problems. Remote printing via the BSD remote printer system to the GatorBox  
works!

The other thing that disturbs me is creating a new account. Under 2.1 I had  
configured the /etc/nu.cf file to automatically select a specific group and  
home directory path so that the UserManager application would show up with the  
appropriate entries. This is no longer the case. The group is selected, but the  
home directory path is always /! What am I missing here?
