I'm configuring lprng the lazy way. I edited a few lines in lpd.conf (location of files, default printer etc.), cleaned my printcap, and then ran checkpc once, and checkpc -f twice (as root).
checkpc said it wanted /var/spool/lpd to be 042700 and 7/7 (lp/lp) rather than 042775 and 0/7. It said the same about the directories underneath as well (left there by lpr). checkpc -f successfully changed/created all the subdirectories so now they're drwx--S--- lp/lp instead of drwxrwsr-x root/lp. However, it couldn't change /var/spool/lpd itself. (/var/spool is drwxr-xr-x root/root.) Fine, I thought, I'll do it myself. Just do chmod 042700 /var/spool/lpd and chown lp.lp /var/spool/lpd. But man chmod says that I should give a 4-digit number. So is LPRng 042700 the same as Linux 6700 and, if so, what does suid do on a directory? -- David Wright, Open University, Earth Science Department, Milton Keynes MK7 6AA U.K. email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel: +44 1908 653 739 fax: +44 1908 655 151 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
