I want file descriptor 3 back!!!
In the "old" versions of LPRng, file descriptor 3 was assigned to the name
of accounting file or server (server option :af=host%port).
(Just as specified by the man page printcap(5))
I'm using "af" as an server option (":af=host%port"), and setting the
"achk" option. This workes just fine. That is sending "as" string to
host%port, and returning "accept" og "hold".
Now what does NOT work (anymore):
When I call my accounting.sh script from "ifhp", then file descriptor 3
is no longer assigned to the "accounting file or server".
I note, that I'm currently using LPRng v.3.5.1 where this works. (I'm
opgrading to v.3.6.19). The problem is not in "ifhp" (at least ver.3.3.1,
this version have been corrected, i mailed the bugfix ;-))
Are the any chances that I get file descriptor 3 back?

(snip from man page)
af D str NULL
name of accounting file or server (see also la, ar)
if the format is host%port, a tcp socket connection will
be made to the port on the host. The as and ae strings
will be printed to the specified destination. This
connection will be passed to filters as file descriptor 3.
