Distributing LP config to many servers

[Paul Thomson_2]

Hi

Currently I have three systems which need the same LP spooler configuration.

In the past I have made changes on one server and then tarred up /var/sam/lp and moved to the other servers where I have untarred and restored in SAM

However, more servers are due to be added. I was hoping to do this under rdist and wondered if anyone had done this before ?

My main confusion is....

1) What directories etc to include in an rdist

2)If i rdist /var/sam/lp, whats the command to restore the config as you would do through SAM ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, I found a way to rdist the /var/sam/lp from one server to all the others and then issue the command

/usr/sam/lbin/lpmgr -R -xsavedir=/var/sam/lp

This updates any printers added.
