From: Marc Miller <_ADDRESS_ELIDED_@mailbox.ucdavis.edu> Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2001 10:44:52 -0800 (PST) Subject: PPR: lprsrv ignoring -m When we upgraded from PPR 1.3x to 1.42 we immediately noticed that jobs being sent to PPR over lprsrv were no longer executing our responder script. All of our servers use the same NIS user/password maps, so when someone telnets to our central machines and prints something from pine, we want that user to get notified. The man page lprsrv confirms this observation "It will always override an - -m option (which shouldn't be in a switchset anyway)." Why was -m disabled? Is there a different set of options we should be using for that instead? For now, we're going to look at what we can change in the source code so that the -m switch in /usr/ppr/etc/printers/printername is preserved. ============================================================ /\/\arc ._|. /\/\iller (_ADDRESS_ELIDED_@mailbox.ucdavis.edu) Computer Room Consultant Information Technology/Lab Management ============================================================ I can be contacted through the Communication Center link from http://www.mother.com/~mjmiller/
