I think I almost have this C2 security (feature?) tamed. I have an SCO UNIX V 3.2.0 system with relaxed C2. Every time any user prints from any application to any printer, the following mail is delivered into their mailbox: X-Mailer: SCO System V Mail (version 3.2) Your request printer8-655 destined for printer8 encountered an error while printing on printer printer8. Reason for failure: grep: can't open /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/printers/printer8/configuration There is no problem with the actual print jobs, as they always print flawlessly. I would like to eliminate these bothersome mail messages. I have tried adding lp subsystem permission to one user to see if this fixes it, but it doesn't. After configuring the printers with sysadmsh, I went into the menu selection that allows you to specify which users are allowed to use which printers, and by leaving the user list empty, have allowed ALL users to use ALL printers. The directories on the path to the interface files are owned by bin, group lp; the interface files themselves look like you have to be a member of the lp group to execute. Do I have to actually add each user to the lp group? As I said, the print jobs are printing, and I know the interface files are executing because each one changes the pitch and quality of the printer they are associated with. Just these stupid mail messages. Thanks for any pointers in the right direction. -- Bill Irwin - The Westrheim Group - Vancouver, BC, Canada ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ uunet!van-bc!twg!bill (604) 431-9600 (voice) | UNIX Systems bill@twg.bc.ca (604) 430-4329 (fax) | Integration -- Bill Irwin - The Westrheim Group - Vancouver, BC, Canada ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ uunet!van-bc!twg!bill (604) 431-9600 (voice) | UNIX Systems bill@twg.bc.ca (604) 430-4329 (fax) | Integration
