Well, I'm not much of an AS/400 guy, but apparently the solutiong was to change the
subsystem to something called STORES and to disallow logins for certain times. What
happens then is that if tn5250 is run, all they get is a blinking cursor on the
upper left hand corner and the 5250 string plus 001/001 at the lower right hand
corner. Pressing enter gives a message of "Assertion failed" and exits the tn5250
program.
Now to another question: I was able to solve my problem of printing to a Win9x
system by using pdq for the local printer (/dev/lp0) and lpr for the SMB printer.
This works great, as long as you're in the same subnetwork. For example, our AS/400
has an IP addy of 10.100.10.1, whereas our test Linux box has an address of
10.100.10.6. 10.100.10.5 is the Win9x box that has a printer (RPT0000) while the
local printer on the Linux box is APP0000. We also have a Linux box at 10.100.57.2
(LOC0057) and another Win9x box at 10.100.57.1 (DRJ0057), which connect to the
AS/400 via a leased line using two Cisco 16xx routers. Connecting the 3151's at
LOC0057 to the AS/400 is not a problem, and neither is trying to create new printing
devices (RPT0057 and APP0057) But when we send something to lp5250d, nothing prints
out. Today, due to other problems at DRJ0057, I was not able to run a tracefile, but
I'm thinking that maybe I need some other program to be able to remotely print at
LOC0057 from the AS/400?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Again, using tn5250/lp5250d 0.15.8. The
command I'm issuing are: /usr/local/bin/lp5250d -s RPT0057 -T '*EPLX810' -P
'/usr/local/bin/scs2ascii | lpr' 10.100.10.1 and a similar one with '-s APP0057' and
'| pdq' replaced accordingly.
Once again, thanks in advance...
Jose S.
