Description Brock Sides 2002-12-30 13:23:52 EST

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

Description of problem:
According to the SAP, you should add remote hosts that you wish to have printing
privileges to /etc/hosts.lpd. But this does not work. It can be made to work by
adding the line

ACCEPT SERVICE=X REMOTEHOST=</etc/hosts.lpd

to /etc/lpd.perms, before the line

REJECT SERVICE=X NOT SERVER

The documentation should be changed to note this.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhl-sap(EN)-8.0-HTML-RHI (2002-10-01T17:12-0400)


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try adding hostname or IP to /etc/hosts.lpd.
2. Try printing from that host. It doesn't work.
3. Add the line referred to above to /etc/lpd.perms, and restart lpd.
4. You can now print from the remote host.

Good catch.  It has been fixed in the manual's sources, and the version on our
website has been updated.
