It's not difficult, but simply not documented. For example, where does it say how to properly send jobs to a PostScript printer? Where does it mention that you can't set XON/XOFF using stty? Chapter 6 of Managing BSD Software tells you to put all your hosts in hosts.equiv. Why? Having a .rhosts file for daemon works better and provides more securiy. Also this same chaper says nothing of hosts.lpd but is does mention the useless /usr/spool/lpd/servername. and so on, and so on, and so on..... As far as "why isn't it in the Apollo documentation", ?. RF.
