Could someone please defend or refute the following statement: In Ultrix 3.0 the line printer daemon does not allow the use of netgroups in hosts.equiv to specify the access control on a printer. I have not be able to make this work... although the yp escape sequence does the right thing for all other functions. (ie rlogin) Anybody have any comments? Thanks Guy -- look.... even a test signature.....

Well, on the con side, the documentation makes no mention of netgroups or other yp enhancements, while on the pro side, it appears that the binary does contain a copy of the netgroup object. getnetgrent.c 9.1 ULTRIX 12/7/88 innetgr.c 9.1 ULTRIX 12/7/88 You might try doing your thing on the hosts.lpd file rather than the hosts.equiv file, assuming that yp has anything to do with hosts.lpd. -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@uunet.uu.net Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)
