NAME

       in.lpd - BSD print protocol adaptor

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/print/in.lpd

DESCRIPTION

       in.lpd  implements the network listening service for the BSD print protocol specified in RFC 1179. The BSD print protocol provides a remote
       interface for systems to interact with a local spooling system. The protocol defines five standard requests from the client to the  server:
       starting queue processing, transferring print jobs, retrieving terse status, retrieving verbose status, and canceling print jobs.

       The in.lpd service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:

	 svc:/network/lp

       Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). Responsibil-
       ity for initiating and restarting this service is delegated to inetd(1M). Use inetadm(1M) to make configuration changes and to view config-
       uration information for this service. The service's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.

       in.lpd  uses  the config/log_from_remote property to allow or disallow remote access. The default value of this property, localhost, disal-
       lows remote access.

       inetd waits for connections on TCP port 515. Upon receipt of a connect request, in.lpd is started  to  service  the  connection.  Once  the
       request has been filled, in.lpd closes the connection and exits.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 Allowing Remote Access

       The following command allows remote access to in.lpd.

	 # inetadm -m svc:/application/print/rfc1179:default bind_addr=""

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	   Successful completion.

       non-zero    An error occurred.
