[comp.protocols.appletalk] LW server with password security

chip@pender.ee.upenn.edu (Charles H. Buchholtz) (11/28/89)

How difficult would it be to write a LaserWriter spooler that provided
password protection, a la AppleShare?  I.e., you select the
LaserWriter in the chooser, and a dialog box comes up asking for your
password.

I may have to write such a beastie, either by patching the CAP LW
server code on my a 4/280, or by writing an application for a Mac.

What are other sites doing about LaserWriter Security?  Is there any
way to prevent people in group A from using group B's LW, when they
are all on one LocalTalk network?
