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 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13860 Mar 25 1997 /usr/bin/lpraccnt -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 134676 Mar 25 1997 /usr/bin/lprm lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 30 09:37 /usr/bin/lpstat -> lpq bash# ls -l /var/spool total 12 [...] drwxrwsr-x 3 root lp 1024 May 30 09:37 lpd bash# ls -l /var/spool/lpd/lp/ total 8 -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. hamish -- Hamish Moffatt, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.
