Hello Ultrix netland,

I cannot figure out what is wrong with the lpd deamon. When rebooting
the DS2100 under Ultrix 3.1d lpd starts ok but I cannot print to a 
remote printer. If I go to lpc and do a status of that printer everything
seems ok except the deamon. The entry says "no deamon present".
I try to start the printer and I get the message :
     deamon started   but nothing happens.
The printer is defined ok in the /etc/printcap and I cannot figure out why
lpd cannot establish the connection.
Any ideas I would really appreciate.
What should be the real permissions of the /usr/lib/lpd ?

Thanks in advance.
