FOOMATIC-KITLOAD(8) System Manager's Manual FOOMATIC-KITLOAD(8)NAME
foomatic-kitload - installs a data kit into the foomatic database.
SYNOPSIS
foomatic-kitload [ -k kit-dir] [ -d dest-dir]...
DESCRIPTION
foomatic-kitload installs a foomatic data kit into the local data library. It takes a -k dirname option, where dirname is the toplevel
directory of a foomatic driver "kit". A "kit" is a selection of XML source files arranged exactly as in the source/section of the master
database (ie, opt/driver/printer/ subdirs).
GIMP-Print's foomatic-generator produces exactly such a kit.
Foomatic-kitload is moderately paranoid about kits: the kit must contain at least one of printer, driver or opt; the kit must contain only
files ending in .xml, the kit cannot be the local library itself, etc. But it does not inspect the contents of the kit files in any way.
Options
-k dirname
dirname is the toplevel directory of a foomatic driver "kit".
-d destdir
destdir is a prefix to prepend to the install path. This will not normally be required, but is useful if installing into a tem-
porary `staging area' prior to installing in the final destination.
EXIT STATUS
foomatic-kitload returns 0 on success, 255 or something else when an error occurs.

foomatic-compiledb - Compile the Foomatic printer/driver database
SYNOPSIS
foomatic-compiledb [ -t type ] [ -f ] [ -j n ] [ driver ... ]
DESCRIPTION
foomatic-compiledb generates all PPD files or Foomatic combo XML files for all possible printer/driver combos, or only for a selected range
of drivers. It generally should not be necessary except for people who want to generate a set of Foomatic data files for distribution. For
configuring single printers foomatic-ppdfile(1) and especially foomatic-configure(1) will automagically compute just what they need.
Options
-t type Output file type, either ppd or xml.
-f Force: Write into the destination directory even if it already exists.
-j n n = number of work processes to run
driver ...
only generate data files for these driver(s)
SEE ALSO foomatic-ppdfile(1),foomatic-configure(1)EXIT STATUS
foomatic-compiledb returns 0 unless something unexpected happens.

associated binary.
BUGS
Existing files are always conserved instead of older files being overwritten. So deleting the destination directory (rm -rf dir) and call-
ing foomatic-compiledb without the -f option is recommended.

Dear Guys,
I want to know more about root-kit in Solaris.. If I'm not mistaken, root-kit is a bunch of scripts nor executable program that can manipulate root-privileges.
And sometimes, root-kit is defined as malware.. Is that right?
How to check whether my system got root-kit installed?... (2 Replies)
I have a client with an OLD Point of Sale system (another POS tla). Old as in running since 1995! :eek:

Thanks!
