NAME
rlpdaemon - remote spooling line printer daemon, message write daemon
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/rlpdaemon [-i ][-l ][-L logfile]
DESCRIPTION
rlpdaemon is a line printer daemon (spool area handler) for remote spool requests. rlpdaemon is nor-
mally invoked at boot time from the /sbin/rc file or started by inetd(1M), when necessary. rlpdae-
mon
runs on a system that receives requests to be printed. rlpdaemon transfers files to the spooling
area, displays the queue, or removes jobs from the queue.
rlpdaemon is also used as a server process to write a message on the user’s terminal, upon receiving a
request from a remote system.
Options
-i Prevent rlpdaemon from remaining after a request is processed. This is required if
rlpdaemon is started from inetd(1M).
-l Cause rlpdaemon to log error messages and valid requests received from the network to the
file /var/adm/lp/lpd.log
. This can be useful for debugging.
-L logfile Change the file used for writing error conditions from the file /var/adm/lp/lpd.log
to
logfile.
When
rlpdaemon is started by inetd(1M), access control is provided via the file
/var/adm/inetd.sec
to allow or prevent a host from making requests. When rlpdaemon is not
started by inetd(1M), all requests must come from one of the machines listed in the file
/etc/hosts.equiv or /var/spool/lp/.rhosts
. When /var/spool/lp/.rhosts
is used
for access, the user name should be
lp.
The following entry should exist in /etc/services
for remote spooling:
printer 515/tcp spooler
EXAMPLES
To start
rlpdaemon from /sbin/rc, invoke the command:
/usr/sbin/rlpdaemon
To start rlpdaemon from inetd, the following line should be included in the file
/etc/inetd.conf:
printer stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/rlpdaemon rlpdaemon -i
WARNINGS
If the remote system is the same as the local system and rlpdaemon was not started by inetd(1M), the
local system name must be included in file /etc/hosts.equiv.
AUTHOR
rlpdaemon was developed by the University of California, Berkeley and HP.
