O.Hartman's problem was not related to that change.  Note that
the problem was that root could NOT do lpq or lpc, while normal
userids could.

We have found the source for the problems O.H. reported, and it
has nothing to do with lpd in release 4.4.  It was just a minor
oversight when changing some other configuration on the machines
in question.
