I've been running Charon3.4 on a Netware3.11 server as an SMTP gateway
for some time now.  I've decided to start that I want to direct Novell
print queues to some printers on our UNIX hosts.  I downloaded the
charon-2.0A stuff from omnigate.clarkson.edu last night and started
working on it this morning.

I went through the instructions which were pretty simple and then ran
it.  It was unable to attach to the queue.  I've tried a few things to
get it going to no avail.

Here's what was done:
	(I'm only directing a Novell queue->UNIX and NOT UNIX->Novell Queue)
	On a fileserver called CNADNW2,
		Added a PrintServer called LPR with Pconsole
		Created a PrintQueue called ps1
		Ran "addqop ps1 lpr"
		Ran "addquser ps1 lpr"
			[I assume this was actually unecessary since
			 I'm not directing UNIX->Novell printing. I
			 tried both ways just to make sure anyway.]
		Copied "lpq.exe" to a public directory in everyone's search
			path
	Set up "printer.dat" for the one remote printer as shown below
		[hosts.lpq set accordingly on remote host]
	Did not set up "lpd.dat" nor "access.dat" since I don't have
		any local novell printers that will be accessed from
		remote hosts.
	Set up "config.tel" appropriately

	Set up a user called "lprserve" that has all the configuration
		files and charon.exe in its login directory (and no
		password)
	Login as user "lprserve" and run "charon -p printer.dat -h config.tel
		Loads fine until it tries to attach the Queue (message
		described below).

	Things I tried:
		add user "lprserve" as a PrintServerOperator and a
			QueueOperator and also as a PrintServer and
			Queue user.
		Make a group "LPR" that has user "lprserve" as a member
			and give the group PrintServer and Queue operator
			permissions and add them to PrintServer and Queue
			Users.

Additional info:

Print Server = lpr
	No Password
	Print Server Operators -> Supervisor
	Print Server Users -> Everyone
===========
Print Queue = ps1
	Queue Operators -> lpr (Print Server)
			-> Supervisor (User)
	Queue Servers -> lpr (Print Server)
	Queue Users -> Everyone (Group)
		    -> lpr (Print Server)
============
printer.dat:
;<queue>	<hostid>	<printer>	<poll_delay>	<open_timeout>
ps1		iowa		ps1		30		60
hostname *.csl.dl.nec.com
============

Login as lprserve and run "charon.exe -p printer.dat -h config.tel"

Info: Adding Queue (1e000001) CNADNW2/ps1 --> iowa:ps1
Info: Attaching to Queue CNADNW2/ps1
Warning: Attach failed with error ea for Queue CNADNW2/ps1, unlinking
Press <SPACEBAR> To Continue...
	[NOVLPR V2.0A monitor screen appears with no print queue or
		server entries.]
=============


Based on the above Warning, I would suspect that there is some permission
to the queue that is not present.  I've done everything in the documen-
tation for 2.0A and experimented with giving the login userid (lprserve)
permissions to the print server and queue also.  But, nothing helped.

Is there something about NetWare v3.11 that needs to be treated
differently?  Any other suggestions?
