As there seemed to have been a lot of discussion about this with people
wanting this, and no clear and easy solutions, I took a few hours today
and wrote a small patch set that introduces two new config variables in
lpd.conf (or printcap):
force_controlfile_originate_hostname=10.0.0.0/255.255.255.254
force_controlfile_username=_unauthenticated=10.0.0.0/255.255.255/254
They work like other options with network addresses, they take multiple
ones including netgroups.
The first, for the matching addresses, will rewrite the control file with
the real remote address. Just put 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 there to always do it.
The second, for matching addresses per username, will rewrite the username
in the control file with that username.
The patch set is really small is I used Patrick's coding style (which I
don't like but I can adjust) when writing them so they would fit nicely
with the rest of the code.
$ grep + getqueue.c.patch lp.h.patch vars.c.patch | wc -l
54
$ grep - getqueue.c.patch lp.h.patch vars.c.patch | wc -l
14
If someone is interested and can post the patches to the list.
