lprng on bo
Having trouble with someone's system using lprng, on bo. Jobs appear
to get accepted into the print queue, but never print to the printer.
It worked up until a day ago, when they copied everything to a new
disk with "cp -ax / /mnt".
Are these permissions all correct?
bash# ls -l /dev/lp*
crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 0 Dec 9 1996 /dev/lp0
crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 1 Dec 9 1996 /dev/lp1
crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 2 Dec 9 1996 /dev/lp2
crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 3 Dec 9 1996 /dev/lp3
bash# ls -l /usr/bin/lp*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 30 09:37 /usr/bin/lp -> lpr
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 137176 Mar 25 1997 /usr/bin/lpc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 139700 Mar 25 1997 /usr/bin/lpq
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 181720 Mar 25 1997 /usr/bin/lpr

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 30 09:37 /usr/bin/lpstat -> lpq
bash# ls -l /var/spool

drwxrwsr-x 3 root lp 1024 May 30 09:37 lpd
bash# ls -l /var/spool/lpd/lp/

-rw------- 1 lp lp 51 May 30 09:29 control.lp
-rw------- 1 lp lp 5 May 30 09:29 lp
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root lp 45 Apr 12 1997 status
-rw------- 1 lp lp 4002 May 30 09:29 status.lp
-rw------- 1 lp lp 5 May 30 09:29 unspooler.lp
Personally I don't see how this can print (lpr doesn't have permissions
to write to /var/spool/lpd) but I just reinstalled the lprng package
from bo and that's what it set them to. On lpr (rather than lprng)
all the programs are setuid root and setgid lp.
Any ideas? I hate it when people install machines they can't
administer and call me to fix it for free every bloody time.
