I have just recently upgraded to 3.8.15 from a much earlier version.
I use script generated printcap files for all my hosts, and printing appears to be working in all cases but one, printing to the local spooler on a solaris machine, from a non-root user. If lpd is running on machine A, I can lpr, lpq, lprm from machine B-Z. If I am root I can lpr/lpq/lprm on machine A. But if I am a non-root user I receive: lpq -Pxxxxxxx Printer 'xxxxxxx@localhost' - cannot open connection - Permission denied Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol This points (I'm guessing) at lpd.perms. I didn't see anything offensive, but commented EVERYTHING out and left "DEFAULT ACCEPT" at the bottom and still received the same thing. This does not happen if lpd is sitting on a Linux machine. Am I running into a setuid issue? - Paul -- Paul Linton Systems Programmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] UofK Department of Computer Science (859) 257-3962 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
