[comp.unix.ultrix] Alternative "spoolers" and backup utilities

robertd@unvax.union.edu (Dave Robert) (05/14/91)

We're running Ultrix v4.1 on a DECsystem 5500 with ENHANCED security -
I'd like to know if anyone has any experience with alternate print
control and backup utilities.  We're new to Ultrix.

What I'm looking for are utilities that are more geared for traditional
data centers - operators controlling the print queues and running the system
backups without access to the root account.

ENHANCED security causes problems due to the way the passwords are
stored in the "auth" file - operator and root must have the SAME PASSWORD
since they have the same UID.

Unfortunately, downgrading the security level is not a real option.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
