Hi,
I'm trying to setup CUPS (in a jail) using an old parallel port
printer on my server machine.
I used ezjail to create a jail and then installed CUPS. I've got it
up and running, and I can access the administration website.
However, as far as I can tell, the admin website doesn't seem to offer
any options regarding the parallel port. Following some research, I
believe I somehow needs to create a /dev/lpt0 entry, *in* the jail.
Now, that entry exists on the jail's host system, but theres a limited
list of entries in the jail's /dev directory. If I do a "ls -al /dev"
(less quotes) in the jail, I get the following...
[r...@pearl cups]# ls -al /dev
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Feb 22 19:04 fd
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 14 Feb 22 19:04 log -> ../var/run/log
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 16 Feb 22 19:22 null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 122 Feb 22 19:28 ptyp0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 8 Feb 22 19:04 random
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4 Feb 22 19:04 stderr -> fd/2
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4 Feb 22 19:04 stdin -> fd/0
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4 Feb 22 19:04 stdout -> fd/1
crw--w---- 1 jazz tty 0, 123 Feb 22 19:28 ttyp0
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6 Feb 22 19:04 urandom -> random
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 17 Feb 22 19:04 zero
Does anyone know how I go about providing the jail with a link to lpt0?
Thanks,
Jazz

I've never used ezjail, as I usually setup jails myself. With that
said, access to dev entries within jail are/can be controlled by devfs
rules. The configuration for your rules is "administrator dependant".
More specifically, you should find a line in your rc.conf that looks
similar to the following:
jail_devfs_ruleset="devfsrules_jail"
This defines the ruleset used for your jails. Knowing this, you can now
edit your rules file (/etc/devfs.rules) and add appropriate entries for
your printer and associated devices.
