I've just installed version 3.7.1 on a sparc.  When printing to a SunOS 4x
machine I get the following in the que and then the job is reject as you
see it only gets 0 bytes.

misgen1 is ready and printing
Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size
active  user     342  .login, .login                        0 bytes

I find it strange about the ".login, .login" part.  A normal print job
that goes through from a non LPRNG 3.7.1 machine looks like this:

Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size
active user     829  .login                                4630 bytes

We were able to print with version 3.5.1 (that was installed by someone no
longer with us).  It appears some SETUID magic is being done which allows
the printjob to go through.

SETUID part when printing from LPRNG machine to SunOS machine from lpr
debug:

 misgen1: Find_fqdn: host 'salaiis', host_ent 0x0
 misgen1: Find_fqdn: gethostbyname returned 0xcbedc
 misgen1: Find_fqdn 'salaiis': returning 'salaiis.coat.com'
 misgen1: seteuid_wrapper: Before RUID/EUID 1953/0, DaemonUID 1, UID_root

 misgen1: seteuid_wrapper: After uid/euid 0/0
 misgen1: seteuid_wrapper: Before RUID/EUID 1953/0, DaemonUID 1, UID_root

 misgen1: seteuid_wrapper: Before RUID/EUID 1953/0, DaemonUID 1, UID_root
1
 misgen1: seteuid_wrapper: After uid/euid 0/1953
 misgen1: cleanup: done, doing killpg then exit(0)

I'm guessing that this is needed to print to our older SunOS BSD LPD
machines.  Is their a way to get this done in 3.7.1 or newer or am I
completely on the wrong track.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

David
