These are non-comment lines from my lpd.perms: ACCEPT SERVICE=C SERVER REMOTEUSER=root ACCEPT SERVICE=C LPC=lpd,status,printcap REJECT SERVICE=C ACCEPT SERVICE=M SAMEHOST SAMEUSER ACCEPT SERVICE=M SERVER REMOTEUSER=root REJECT SERVICE=M DEFAULT ACCEPT > I can't remember where Patrick injected the unix-domain socket > code...it was one of the later LPRng releases (later than 3.8.10 or so). But why should change the default behaviour? The lpr binary works fine, with same config file ... (And I did not mention in the original post, that lpd itself has problems to print - I administer the box remotely, but users say sometimes they can proint, sometimes not. Reverting to old lpd also of course solved their problems. Once more - with same config files!). -- Martin Mokrejs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP5.0i key is at http://www.natur.cuni.cz/~mmokrejs MIPS / Institute for Bioinformatics <http://mips.gsf.de> GSF - National Research Center for Environment and Health Ingolstaedter Landstrasse 1, D-85764 Neuherberg, Germany tel.: +49-89-3187 3683 , fax: +49-89-3187 3585 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
