So, new option -W was added. 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. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
