[comp.sys.apollo] lpd --- again

chytil@tuvie (Inst.f.Techn.Informatik) (11/02/90)

I have the impression that the lpd supplied with 10.2 just ignores
the /etc/hosts.lpd -file. Since I have _no_ intentions to enter a
Personal Computer in our /etc/hosts.equiv I wonder if anyone has
successfully replaced the original lpd-spooler with a compatible
but working version.

	.
The /etc/hosts.lpd function at 10.2 works just fine. I use it with Macs,
PCs, NeXts, and other Unix hosts.

We are using the /etc/hosts.lpd capability to avoid /etc/hosts.equiv, and
it seems to work just fine on SR10.2. Did you kill/restart lpd after
creating/modifying the file, and are the host names the REAL host
names, not /etc/hosts aliases (including the full domain if you are
using named)?

Multiple answers (thanks, guys and gals!) suggest that I'm just plain wrong.
Well.

Now that I'm obviously too fast in blaming Domain/OS for all and every fault
on our system I'll consider other possibillities (sp?), but a refused connection
with an entry in /etc/hosts.lpd and an accepted (yet finally failing) connection
with an entry in /etc/hosts.equiv led me to that assumption.

I guess I'll start with listening to inbound connections on the Apollos 
lpd-socket and see what's coming ....

BTW, the client is running FTP's PC/TCP, same subnet, long unaliased name
in all relevant setup-files.
