I noticed problem-report bin/9362, which reported that the 'lpc start' command no longer works. (it claims to start the queue, but it doesn't actually start it). I came up with a two or three line fix for that bug, and sent it in as problem-report bin/13549. This patch should work on both freebsd-current and freebsd-stable. I also noticed problem report bin/12912. This PR includes a patch to make sure that if a lockfile does not already exist, then it will be created such that the queue is both "enabled" and "started". I have not tried this exact patch yet, but here at RPI we've had a similar patch to lpd for a long time. We add printer queues to a master printcap file, which is then copied to a few hundred workstations. We really don't want to have to run around all those workstations to 'enable' and 'start' a queue that we have just added. Perhaps we have a different 'umask' setting when lpd starts up than most freebsd sites do... Could some other people try these simple patches, and see how well they work? I am hoping these could make it into the next official release, although I realize that time is rapidly running out for that! :-) --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
