As I posted before we run into trouble with lpd on all FBSD 4.4 boxes around here (not on 4.3 boxes!). Configuration: a central server machine sends its print jobs to a central printserver which is attached to a HP JetDirect printserver at which two printers are connected to. This worked fine since the switch to FBSD 4.4 (nothing has been changed in the configs). Each normal user is able to use 'lpq' on each machine and gets a report of the status of the standard print-queue or the appropriate selected queue. Only root is not able to connect to the lpd! 'lpq' reports lpq: Unable to contact server! but the server daemon is running! The same to 'lpc'. Users are able to administer their jobs with lpc, but global administration by root with lpc is not possible. 'lpc' hangs for a while, then shows up the lpc-prompt but with a harsh limited set of options (quit, status and help). 'status' shows nothing, no queue, no job. Well, it sounds very strange that only root is excluded from access to the lpd. Please help. -- MfG O.
