            Bug ID: 238407
           Summary: lpd(8) man page -- missing operational detail
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Manual Pages
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: rfg-freebsd@tristatelogic.com
                CC: doc@FreeBSD.org

It appears to be the case that the print spooler, lpd, re-reads the
/etc/printcap file when changes to that file are made.  This important
operational fact is not documented in the lpr(8) man page, even though the =
man
page is explicit in noting that the /etc/printcap file is read by lpd at
startup time.

The lpr(8) man page should be revised so as to specify ALL of the times and=
/or
conditions which will cause lpr to process or reprocess the current content=
s of
the current /etc/printcap file.
