I'm confused because you say the cups clients filter then send the job as raw. I assume that the cups clients filter and send the cooked job to the lprng server which should do no more further filtering. It's pretty simple to do. First setup lprng to talk to the printers and make sure you can remotely print in lpd.perms. Then tell the cups clients there is a lpd printer over on that LPRng server... Make sure lprng configuration doesn't have any filters. If you do have some clients that need filters then have a raw printer item that talks to the printer itself and a filtering printer that bounces the job to the raw printer item. - Craig -- Craig Small GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.enc.com.au/ MIEE Debian developer csmall at : enc.com.au ieee.org debian.org - YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRng MAILING LIST The address you post from or your Reply-To address 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.

LPRng: [tom.henderson@wesley.com: Bug#291934: lprng: Remote jobs never print and lpc lpq stops workin]
Hello Patrick, I have received this bug report for lprng 3.8.28. The fact that kernel changes make it work is strange. I have asked for a debug on the network -D network output and see if he can do a strace too. The bug report is also at http://bugs.debian.org/291934 - Forwarded message from Tom Henderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Any remote print jobs coming in seem to make the lpd spooler just hang. Typing 'lpc lpq printername' will hang until I kill it This hanging on lpc commands starts just a few minutes after print jobs start coming in. If enough come in before the lpc command hangs, lpc will show the jobs as 'incoming'. The complete job will be received -- verified with ethereal -- and can be seen in a file named 'temp' in the printer spool directory, but never gets turned into a data file with the dfA* naming convention, and the remote system evidently never gets a success code returned, because it sends the same job again. To top it all off, this happens on kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686-smp or kernel-image-2.6.3-1-686-smp, but everything works just fine on kernel-image-2.4.25-1-686-smp. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.25-1-686-smp Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages lprng depends on: ii debconf 1.4.30.11Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcomerr2 1.35-6 The Common Error Description libra ii libkrb531.3.6-1 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7e-2 SSL shared libraries -- debconf information: * lprng/setuid_tools: true * lprng/start_lpd: true lprng/twolpd_perms: lprng/twolpd_conf: - End forwarded message - -- Craig Small GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.enc.com.au/ MIEE Debian developer csmall at : enc.com.au ieee.org debian.org - YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRng MAILING LIST The address you post from or your Reply-To address 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.

Hello Patrick,
A pretty easy one to fix, with a patch even!
Can you tell me if you will be releasing a new version of lprng soon?
If it is a while off I'll release a Debian-specific version with this
patch and a few other minor changes.

Tags: security
The lprng_certs script does not protect itself from temporary directory
attacks since it creates several temporary files in an insecure manner
($$.sslcfg, $$.crt and $$.key, the process PID is not suffient to avoid
an attack) and does not check if the temporary files it tries to use
already exist before using them. Also, these temporary files are all not
removed after the script is finished (only the first one is) and
might potentially contain sensitive information.
The attached patch is an attempt to fix this behaviour using the
mktemp tool, I've tackled this bug by creating a temporary directory
where all these files are created.

Javier

Re: LPRng: Effectiveness of anti-spam measures

Well, it appears that most of the LPRng postings appear to be 'spam-like' as the filtering was less effective. You need about 1000 of both for the training to work. Having only subscribers being able to email can help too, even if it just puts a penalty onto the email instead of blocking it. You can also have a whitelist subscription which works just like you are subscribed but you receive no email. Did it say it was spam-like or spam? There is a scoring used so even if the email scored 4 or so it still goes through. I removed the training and went back to the rule set method. You can use both. I am thinking aobut adding some 'obfuscation' to the postings to remove or modify email addresses in headers/body so that mailing list monitors do not pick them up. Simple changes such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] - user _at_ hostname.place currently seem to be effective. It can help. Not with list spam but with spam to subscribers of the list.

LPRng: An interesting idea for lprng
Hello Patrick, Here is an interesting but strange idea. Something for those times when you wonder what wackyness you can get lprng to do in your spare moments :) Needless to say, while the idea has merit, occassional users probably should use something more lightweight. ref: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=199094 Dmitry Rutsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] reported: I think there should be a way to start the daemon only when it is needed. Of course, constant run is completely acceptable for servers, but for a home computer, where printing is occasional and rare, most of the time it is just a redundant process slot, about 350K of virtual memory and bootup entry. Not very much to worry about, though. I couldn't figure out how to do it from the lprng documentation. AFAIK, all thegood daemons which perform server functions for occasional tasks can run via inetd; lpd doesn't seem to be able to do so. - Craig -- Craig Small GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.enc.com.au/ MIEE Debian developer csmall at : enc.com.au ieee.org debian.org - 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.

LPRng: sysconfdir changes
Hello Patrick,
All the config files use ${sysconfig_dir}/lpd/whatever. The hard
coding of /lpd/ causes a lot of problems for me (as a packager) so
I now have to manually change it to /lprng/ by doing evil with vim
to configure, well actually :%s/\/lpd\//\/lprng\//s
A wishlist from me, either remove the /lpd/ or make it configurable.
thanks!

LPRng: lpq -a and -Pall wierdness
I'm getting some wierd bug reports about lpq -a and lpq -Pall In 3.8.9 it looks like -a behaves itself, so something changed for the better from 3.8.8., good! lpq -Pall only shows local printers, not remote printers (-a shows both).

Change your /etc/hosts tosomething like you can see in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=133048repeatmerged=yes ie, 127.0.0.1 doesn't resolve to localhost and the permissions start to break down even with the unix socket.

Re: LPRng: running lprng as non-root user
On Fri, Feb 15, 2002 at 10:32:13AM -0500, William R. Knox wrote: The client parts of LPRng are often installed setuid root so that they can send from a privileged port (something in the RFC states that requests need to be issued from the range 721-731 - most lpd servers do not enforce that, but that's why the client would be installed as root). This is true but as Patrick would no doubt say for every implementation that adhered to this part of the standard there would be another that didn't. LPRng for instance will do either. On Debian installations, for example, the default is not to setuid root the binaries as for most installations you don't need it. If you don't need setuid root binaries then don't make them that way. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/[EMAIL PROTECTED] MIEEE [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 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.

Obviously I'd need to change the lpd port number and directories used. I need to do this on a temporary basis in order to test some things out on a machine that's already running lpd, etc. Assuming you do those port and directory permission things I'd say it is very likely. You only need root to access 1024 port and get to the directories. I'm not sure what you mean by client parts, if you are talking about the client programs then they (generally, let's assume you dont have some wierdo setup) should run as non-root. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/[EMAIL PROTECTED] MIEEE [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 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.

LPRng: The various releases
Hello Patrick, At least for me (because I have to package it for Debian) it would be great to know when a version of LPRng is released. I only knew 3.8.5 was released because I saw it on the website. A few days ago I saw you talking about 3.8.6 but that isn't on the website. All I need is a simple email, like echo Hello World | mailx -s 'LPRng 3.8.6 Released' [EMAIL PROTECTED] that would do it, then i know it is downloaidng and packaging time and that I haven't downloaded a test package. Ideally having the last changelog block is better because I can prioritise it better, but that will do.

LPRng: bounce queues,tcp ports and documentation
Hello, I've got a Debian user with a problem with printing to a remote printer who also needs a filter. He's using the lpd_bounce flag in it, I suspect not breaking up the client and server into two entries is causing problems. First of all, can you use bounce queues with the TCP port turned off? What is the client entry in that case? I was looking at http://www.lprng.com/LPRng-HOWTO-Multipart/lpdbounce.htm for some help and will make some comments. I think it needs some more words to explain things better, suggestions include: * How the job weaves it way through, something like: user types lpr filename, lpr finds the first line in the printcap and uses this because the second entry is for servers only, it sends the job to printer bounce at bouncehost (what is bouncehost? localhost?). server takes job and (for some reason) chooses second printcap entry. it uses the lpf filter and stores the job temporarily in (/var/spool/lpd/bounce ??) before sending onto remote printer at lp at server with hostname remote. * What other flags effect it? like lpd_port in lpd.conf or force_localhost. * A warning that not having the first line and having no server in the second will break things. -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/[EMAIL PROTECTED] MIEEE [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 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.

Relevant details: Debian2.2(potato), LPRng-3.6.12, ghostscript 5.10 Hello Larry, I am the maintainer of the Debian LPRng packages. By some coincidence up until about a month ago my primary printer was a HP DJ500. They understand ascii and some PCL. What are you trying to print? I assume a postscript page? Are you sure ghostscript is working and is sending the right sort of file to the printer? Try printing a text file first, that will make sure all the channels etc are right. It could be that the file is going to the printer and the printer goes, huh? and dumps it. A good way to annoy someone who is not aware of this is give them a text file and a postscript-only printer. You get lots of blank pages and cursing! Then do the opposite, cat a PCL file direct to the port. Your printcap is pretty simple so its basically just sending the file as is. BTW, I hope you have the latest lprng running there Larry, the older 3.6.12's had a security bug in them. You should be running 3.6.12-8 which is the 3.6.24 security patches backported to the Debian stable dist.

The FHS (if you care about the FHS) demands that transient sockets go there. Even if you don't care about the FHS, there are a couple of good reasons. If lpd is going to automatically create the socket, then putting it in /var/run would make things work for people with / mounted read-only, and putting it in a subdir of /var/run would allow the socket to be created by a non-root-privileged daemon. When the this release hits Debian, it will go in /var/run/lprng That is where the pid is found too, due to a --with-lockfile I'm hoping there will be a socket configure flag too. Doing this will mean lprng follows the FHS as well as Debian convention, pretty much any daemon that has a socket has it in /var/run/package For those that haven't seen the FHS, its found at http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ The FHS people like to be annoying so they don't give you a HTML version of the document. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/[EMAIL PROTECTED] MIEEE [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 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.

Err, no it doesn't have to be setuid root. postgresql has a unix socket and, as far as I can tell, doesn't have setuid root program. I cannot see why you want to restrict who can connect to the unix socket; I have this program called telnet that can cicumvent lpr on the TCP/IP socket. If you do want to restrict, why not make it setgid something instead. The point is that people need lpd to print to their printer. They don't need a TCP/IP socket open usually. Of course some people do need it, just like they need remote postgresql connections. But if there is no TCP/IP socket, there is no son of ramen worm problem for that box. The overhead difference in using TCP/IP over a UNIX domain socket in most systems is trivial. In fact, some systems FAKE sockets Exactly, you wouldn't do it for this unless you were a speed freak.

I don't know how clever it is but it does know, or thinks it knows, the uid of the local user. Having a local Unix socket assists the security of 'this box', not the 'box over there'.

I've been using the following printcap for two printers for months without any problems, and now they both exhibit very odd behavior. clj4500|HP Color LaserJet 4500 :lp=clj4500%9100 :sd=/var/spool/lpd/clj4500 :filter=/usr/lib/filters/ifhp :sh:ifhp=model=hp4500 hplj6p|HP LaserJet 6P :lp=/dev/lp0 :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp6p :filter=/usr/lib/filters/ifhp :sh:ifhp=model=hp6p The 6P doesn't have a postscript simm so I had to modify the ifhp.conf to include ghostscript converters for everything but raw pcl, those seem to still work fine though, its just the final sending of the data to the printer that bombs out. So here's where it gets odd, on the 6P I couldn't print anything, all I ever got from the printer was a response of, Filter_status: getting sync using 'pjl echo' at 18:07:48.544 Filter_status: no sync response from printer at 18:07:48.544 It would try 3 times and finally remove the job after 3 failures. So I added sync@ to my description, then it complained of no pagecount, so I added pagecount@ (keep in mind this all worked swimingly until recently without any of the mods) - at this point it started complaining about not being able to read the device. I rolled lprng back to the last 3.7 version but it didn't help either which made me suspect hardware failure. I got fed up and moved the printer to a different box. At the time I figured it was a parallel port issue. But then Color LaserJet 4500 started acting weird too and now I'm really puzzled. The clj4500 still prints PostScript files great - but now it if its sent plaintext it starts handing me the 'no sync response from printer' bit. This box is using its ethernet port and has always been pretty robust. My only thought is that something changed between the interaction of filters, specifically ifhp, and lprng recently and its caused a corruption of some kind that maybe persists between queued jobs (the only way I can explain lprng 3.7 not fixing the issue). Anyway, there's a newer version of ifhp out, it might fix the problems, it might not, but I thought I'd throw this out there. -- Jamie Heilman http://audible.transient.net/~jamie/ ...thats the metaphorical equivalent of flopping your wedding tackle into a lion's mouth and flicking his lovespuds with a wet towel, pure insanity... -Rimmer - End forwarded message - - Begin forwarded message - From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Dec 12 06:27:21 2001 Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: from audible.transient.net (audible.transient.net [64.81.171.127]) by fozzie.eye-net.com.au (Postfix) with SMTP id 05E41D6029 for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Wed, 12 Dec 2001 06:26:54 +1100 (EST) Received: (qmail 17133 invoked from network); 11 Dec 2001 19:26:40 - Received: from stink-foot.audible.transient.net (HELO stink-foot.?none?)

LPRng: Samba printing not working (but a fix)
OK, In my little LPRng torture chamber, I got it printing lprng-lprng-parallel (after realising that magicfilter was dumping the job to a non-existent program, sigh) Next is lprng-Win95-parallel, got that fixed too, but the HOWTO has a bug, or the way that smbclient works has changed. Section 11.8 says a few things and then gives this. ( # echo translate echo print - /bin/cat ) | /usr/local/bin/smbclient $server\\$service \ $password -U $server -N -P 12 Tried it, it doesn't work (says it is printing 0 bytes) Strangely, echo foo | /usr/local/lib/smbprint fails but if you type /usr/local/lib/smbprint and then type stuff it works. Anyhow, there is now the -c flag in smbclient, so chaning the line to /bin/cat | /usr/bin/smbclient $server\\$service $password -U $server -N -P -c 'print -' 12 Makes it happy. It seems lprngtool uses something like this too. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/[EMAIL PROTECTED] MIEEE [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 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.

It definately is if you want to do any client side filtering and possibly even if you don't. It does work with network printing, plenty of people do it. I've got lprng talking to a netgear box that speaks lpd protocol. Pretty much all bugs reported have been configuration changes or errors. The one where the hostname is dropping out inside lprngs checks, for exmaple, is definitely a bug. What advantages does it have over 3.6.26? And how noisy would I have to be to overcome your reluctance ;-) There were plenty of things fixed in the 3.7 range, a lot of the state and config problems were cleaned up. The side-effect of this is a lot of config files need changing. I'd have to be convinced that: 1) The bug is not due to a config file problem 2) The bug effects a reasonable proportion of users.

Re: LPRng: LPRng is 64-bit unclean

Hey all, new member to this list.
It seems that LPRng 3.7.4 is not 64 bit clean,
where at least some of the 3.6.x series was.
It segfaults during initialization.
It seems that the problem is somewhere in the linelist code,
but I have not figured out where. I have seen this problem
on several archetectures, including the Alpha platform.
Not sure what you meant by linelist code, but this may help.
Did you read a thread about this before and did that help?
The Debian alpha porters complained about one line which killed lpd
and I reported it back here.
Line 189 in src/common/vars.c
/* allow LPR to make direct socket connection to printer */
{ "direct", 0, INTEGER_K, Direct_DYN,2,0},
It says initially STRING_K which is wrong. I'm not sure if it is
supposed to be INTEGER_K or FLAG_K.
After making this change I've not heard back from the alpha folks
since. And porters are usually quite vocal about works on i386 but not
on my architecture type of bugs :)
Here's the bug report with the fix.

LPRng: [xsdg@softhome.net: Bug#88886: `lpc` command does _not_ check UID of user running it]
I've checked this out myself and yes it seems that you can do this little trick. We all know that the LPD protocol is horribly insecure but is there anything that can be done about this? A simple if user='root' then check uid=0 would help. Of course if they've mangled the /etc/passwd file then they're probably doing ok anyway. Anyone heard from Patrick lately? - Forwarded message from xsdg [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [headers gone] Description: For enhanced security, I changed the username of my UID0 user (to "bob", for the purpose of the discussion). I recently ran `apsfilterconfig` as bob, and it told me that I needed to run `lpc reread`, so lprng would reload /etc/printcap and probably some other stuff. However, the following resulted: [bob@~]#lpc reread no permission to control server This in and of itself is a problem, because I am unable to de-queue jobs without shutting down lprng, and manually deleting the hf*, cf*, and df* files in the spooldir. As per someone's suggestion, I created a user name "root" with UID 1004, and was flabbergasted at the what occurred: [bob@~]#su root -c "/usr/sbin/lpc reread" lpd server pid 13294 on portal.xsdg.org, sending SIGHUP Do remember that "root" == UID1004. This, in my and others' opinions, is a gaping security hole. LPRng should determine who has permission to run administrative commands by the User ID, and _not_ the username. Just to deter any doubts, here is a slightly more unsettling example: Computer printing to remote printer: 21:47:38 [xsdg@~]$cat tmp.ps | lpr -V LPRng-3.6.26, Copyright 1988-2000 Patrick Powell, [EMAIL PROTECTED] sending job 'xsdg@cpp+720' to lp@localhost connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1 connected to 'localhost' requesting printer lp@localhost sending control file 'cfA720cpp.xsdg.org' to lp@localhost completed sending 'cfA720cpp.xsdg.org' to lp@localhost sending data file 'dfA720cpp.xsdg.org' to lp@localhost completed sending 'dfA720cpp.xsdg.org' to lp@localhost done job 'xsdg@cpp+720' transfer to lp@localhost Computer with printer attached: 21:46:33 [bob@~]#lpq Printer: ljet3p@portal 'HP Laserjet IIIP' Queue: 1 printable job Server: pid 13533 active Unspooler: pid 13535 active Status: error 'JWRERR' at 21:49:06.663 Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time 1 xsdg A 720 (stdin) 45613 21:47:46 21:49:10 [bob@~]#lprm - Printer ljet3p@portal: checking perms 'cfA720cpp.xsdg.org' no permissions 'cfA720cpp.xsdg.org' 21:49:13 [bob@~]#su root 21:49:29 [root@/root]$lpq Printer: ljet3p@portal 'HP Laserjet IIIP' Queue: 1 printable job Server: pid 13533 active Unspooler: pid 13535 active Status: error 'JWRERR' at 21:49:26.663 Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time 1 xsdg A 720 (stdin) 45613 21:47:46 21:49:31 [root@/root]$lprm - Printer ljet3p@portal: checking perms 'cfA720cpp.xsdg.org' dequeued 'cfA720cpp.xsdg.org' As a final reminder, please remember that "bob"==UID0, and "root"=UID1004. - End forwarded message - -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/[EMAIL PROTECTED] MIEEE [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 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.

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.

LPRng: [doug@ties.org: Bug#82476: lprng 3.7.4-1 segfaults on Alpha [with patch]]
Got this from a Debian user, strange it only died on the alpha.
- Craig
- Forwarded message from Doug Larrick [EMAIL PROTECTED] -
Package: lprng
Version: 3.7.4-1
Invoking /usr/sbin/lpd on an Alpha running up-to-date testing causes
an immediate segmentation fault, like this:
# /usr/sbin/lpd
Segmentation fault
This problem also causes the installation of the package to fail:
Installing new version of config file /etc/lprng/lpd.perms ...
Starting printer spooler: /etc/init.d/lprng: line 98: 25617
Segmentation fault start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile
$PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON
dpkg: error processing lprng (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139
Errors were encountered while processing:
lprng
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I have tracked down this problem in the debugger, and have included a
one-liner patch below. The problem is that the configuration option
"direct" is defined to be a STRING_K type in the table listing all
such options, but it is really an integer. When code tries to clean
up the list of configuration options, it tries to free memory that was
never malloced. This error causes a segfault on Alpha, and probably
causes undetected harm on other platforms.
Patch follows inline.
Thanks,
-Doug
