RE: LPD, printing filter, terminal program and other tools

[Greg Haerr]

: ...actually, now I come to think about it, isn't that what lpr and lpd do 
: anyway? So why does my big-Linux box have an lpd running all the time?
: 

        Lpr is client side and not spawned by inetd.  The way
that inetd works, it's pretty easy to write daemons that can run standalone,
or from inetd fork()ing and execing the daemon with redirected stdin.
