Someone had expressed concern to me about there being a security hole
in/with using the LP command (ie from a UUCP connection). Could
someone brief me on this hole (if it exists) and possibly a way to
mend it?
Thanks in advance...

If you normally send mail, etc as root, I would think you'd be more worried about trojan horses than security holes! -- Marc Auslander (IBM)<marc@marc.watson.ibm.com> (Internet)<marc@watson.ibm.com>

I've heard of this too. I'd like to see a bit more discussion in this area.
