Aha! Sorry, I didn't know what you were seeking, and so failed to
understand your points properly. My apologies.

[root@localhost /root]# ls -l /var/spool/lpd | grep lp
drwxr-xr-x 2 root lp 2048 Jul 22 11:03 lp

[root@localhost /root]# ls -l /usr/sbin/lpd
-rwxr--r-- 1 root root 51696 Feb 14 14:13 /usr/sbin/lpd
I suspect I know what happened. In an effort to track down another
problem I changed permissions for /usr/sbin, which didn't help, and
may have reverted to incorrect permissions for the directory
(something about a china shop). At present it is:
[root@localhost /root]# ls -l /usr | grep sbin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 5120 Apr 19 11:49 sbin
Perhaps if I knew what this should be, it would solve my problem.
