I don't know the answer to your actual question. But as for ensuring that all the permissions and so forth on all of the required log, lock, spool etc files, you can use the "checkpc" command that is part of lprng. By default it just checks the permissions, but if you give it the -f flag, it will attempt to fix any problems too. -- Gilbert Laycock email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maths and Computer Science, http://www.mcs.le.ac.uk/~glaycock Leicester University phone: (+44) 116 252 3902
