[comp.bugs.sys5] security in lp

gls@corona.ATT.COM (04/14/91)

Don't be afraid to hack the lp code, or even to write your own version
of lpsched.  That's what UNIX(R) is all about -- writing your own
programs and tweaking the distributed source code.

In the meantime, you can print private files with

	lp < myfile
or
	for FILE in myfile*; do lp < $FILE; done

You can even write your own "lp" script or alias that inserts the "<"
before running /usr/bin/lp.  The only difficulty is that the name of the
file won't appear on the banner page.
