Well, if that's the case, why isn't it mentioned on security.debian.org as a
security fix for us Potato users as well?

Yeah, that one. Good to see it complains now.

It's always a user configuring something wrong or not RTFMing.
Either setuiding lpr and friends or a force_localhost put somewhere
fixes it.
All stems from the force_localhost stuff, either the Debian package or
LPRng in general changed the way this was handled.
Another problem is due to me tightening up lpd.perms so remote users,by
default, cannot access lpd. People don't read the READMEs.
In any case Patrick, it's not really anything much you can fix, though
perhaps when lpd starts it prints in nice big letters to all printers
"I must read the READMEs".
Speaking of remote access to lpd, people running Debian, if possible
upgrade to lprng 3.6.24-3. -3 has the fix for that syslog overflow
bug as mentioned on bugtraq.
