Anyone with knowledge of UNIX

[PSPHax0r9]

If anyone is familiar with UNIX and would be willing to help me out real quick I'm having trouble with the last part of this assignment. Please help if you know.

All I have to do is find the following files and directories:
The file where your email addressed to your class account would be stored.
The file that contains the configuration for printers available to the computer.
The directory that contains libraries for internet protocol table manipulation.

On a standard UNIX-powered system. Thanks for any assistance.

For printers, on my system it's /etc/cups/printers.conf (CUPS = Common UNIX Printing System, it's pretty standard), not sure about the email (It just depends on what thing they're using to send it, as there are a bunch of *nixes out there atm, since Linux doesn't count. Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Mac, to name a few).

Solaris though is the only real UNIX variant nowadays.

On my system email is sent to /var/mail/USERNAME

On Solaris in order to do anything networking you have to include -lsocket and -lnsl, so that might be a place to start.

If you want to mess around with a UNIX system you can try and install OpenSolaris in like VirtualBox or VMware or whatever. FreeBSD might count too.
