[comp.sys.hp] lp admin group

hardiman@bcstec.boeing.com (Paul Hardiman) (06/20/91)

The lpadmin (et al) commmands qualify users by requiring that
they belong to the lp admin group.  I have gone through the
administration docs, but found nothing that says how this is done.

We have specified users for this command set on the lp group in the
/etc/group file, but this has been insufficient.


Any help would be appreciated.

Alas, whatever happened to /etc/printcap???

Ciao 4 Now.

	I'm not sure what you mean or are trying to do.  more info ?

	If you link /etc/logingroup to /etc/group this will accomplish what you
	want, but I'm not sure (almost positive) it is not the best way to
	accomplish what you want.

printcap is a BSD'ism HP-UX is mostly SYS V at the user level.  I think
that you will find it "better".
