lpd is broken (i386 version at least).
redhat 5.1 -> lpr 0.21.2 -> updated to lpr 0.31.1
redhat 5.1 -> lpr 0.31.4
Between 0.17 and 0.21 something got broken. The daemon
acts as if every printcap entry had :rs=true:, thus only
honoring remote print requests from valid users. Intentional
(security paranoia) or accidental, I don't know, but it
looks like a bug to me.
I witnessed these problems on a default 5.1 installation,
no updates.
The message log shows "can't find user; can't fork".
