I suggest you create a shell script to use in place of your existing lp program. In the shell script, test the value of the variables LOGNAME, UU_MACHINE, and UU_USER. Most important of these is the last, UU_USER, which is the login name of the issuing user on the requesting machine. If the USER/MACHINE name pair is not someone you like, your script can bounce his request back at him to say, "You're not allowed to do that." If the USER/MACHINE user is someone you DO like, call the real (but now renamed) lp script with normal arguments and all should be well. Karl
