Hello,

I've set up my RH 5.0 box to serve as a print server to some appletalk
printers for other unix boxes (SGI's mostly) which can't see the appletalk
printers.

Even though I've not used the "rs" capability in the /etc/printcap on
either my linux box or the SGI's, lpr is acting like it's enabled, because
I can only print from remote accounts where the user also has an account
on the local machine.  If there is not an matching account on the local
(linux)  box, print requests are silently swallowed.  If I create an
account with the username, printing works properly.

How can I set this up to allow print requests from any account on machines 
in /etc/hosts.lpd?

I've read the Printing HOWTO, and scanned the archives for this, but
haven't been able to determine the problem.

Thanks,
Jon Christopher
