G'day,
I have received two reports (82476 and 82711) from people running on
Alphas stating that lpd dies immediately it runs. Once of them has
found the problem. A big thnkayou to Doug.

Assigning a char* to an int, enough to ruin your day on some
architectures :/
Now, i'm also getting a fair few reports from people upgrading to 3.7.4
and finding remote printing doesn't work (82501). They have things
like
lprng-->lprng-->hp printer
They're upgrading the leftmost lprng.
Could this flag problem do it? I'm also guessing it may be the lack of
root permissions to get the low TCP ports.
I'd love to get a one-liner about under what conditions having lpc and
friends should be setuid root.

* If you want to see a bug report, like bug #123 go to
http://bugs.debian.org/123 all lprng bugs are at

This is obviously Debian package bugs.
