DNS is working fine, but I have no pio sub-directoryin /usr/lib/lpd/
or in /var/spool/lpd

Comparing this machine to others, there are some commands starting
with pio in /usr/sbin that seem to be missing on the machine I'm
having a problem on. (I have /usr/sbin/piomisc_base, but that's all).

Am I missing a required fileset?

That seems likely to me at this point...

If so, what fileset should I install?
