Okay, I admit defeat, I have looked in every manual I could find but to no
avail.  Here is the situation, a Sun machine (I have tried this from a Sun
SLC and a 386i) submits a print job to an HP9000/345 running HPUX V7.0.  The
printer is connected to the HP9000/345.  The user on the sun then attempts to
cancel the print job.  If he types lprm -Pprinter, nothing happens.  If he
types lprm -Pprinter userid or lprm -Pprinter jobID then the following error
is retured

Maxwell: cfA034bbcr: Permission denied

Where maxwell is the HP9000/345's host id bbcr is the Sun's host id and 034
is the job id.  As near as I can tell from any of the manuals, there is no
setting to control the permissions and removing jobs from the remote host.
The rlpdaemon is running (launched from the inetd with the -i and -l options)
and logs the rmjob command as follows: 

rlpdaemon: bbcr.waterloo.edu requests rmjob rwriter bbcr:gordon 34

I can cancel jobs from any of the nodes within the HP cluster, it is only
from outside the cluster that we have problems.  Also, the cancel is not
restricted.

Anybody seen this one before?  Got any idea how to fix it?

Thanks
Gordon
