> I want file descriptor 3 back!!!
I've just had this conversation on this list. Even if you get fd 3 back
you'll have to watch out for ifhp as it closes it and opens the accounting
file directly unless you block the -a option and the accounting file spec
from the options it is called with. Take a look at the filter options
settings in lpd.conf.
Once you get that fixed you'll find that the accounting port/file/filter is
opened and closed each time a log entry is written. So what you used to
have was a port opened and held open for the life of the print job, now
it'll be opened and shut for every line that gets logged. The old
"Setup_Accounting" and "Do_accounting" functions got merged into
"Do_accounting" and it became stateless.
I know Patrick did this because some filters broke - but could we have fd 3
back the way it used to be - pretty please.
