Oh, blitherition! I gave them names just so I could keep track,
and I *still* mix them up. <sob, gasp, sound of head beating on
computer ...>
Meanwhile, I've shut all four machines down, and am in process of
booting them up again -- whereupon I'll go into system-config-firewall
and enable both IPP server and client as trusted (taking that to mean
"trusted within the LAN") on them all; I suppose, now that I know more, I
might as well install telnet, too. (I've known it save me, more than
once, to be able to get into a machine that can't run its X-server.)
Stay tuned.
I should have asked sooner. Why can't ssh get you to a machine without
an X-server?
