Once again the checkpc file creation stuff is modified so that
it can create files in a directory NOT owned by the lpd group/user.
This is necessary for log files and other items. Note that this
MAY cause problems for log file truncation as you need to copy
file contents rather than just renaming them. But it turns out
that I am already doing this so it appears to be OK.
CAVEAT EMPTOR.
