We have 2 sets of Suns here.  One Sun (cos) has all of the printers
attached to it.  Poeple on several other Suns (called the
'test-machines' in /etc/netgroup) want to be able to send print jobs to
cos's printers.  In cos's /etc/hosts.equiv, the other set of Suns is
explicitly not trusted (I have "-@test-machines" in cos's
/etc/hosts.equiv - the @test-machines reads from the netgroup database
in cos's Yellow Pages; this is equivatent to listing all of the Suns
that I do not want to trust on cos in cos's /etc/hosts.equiv as
'-hostname' (or simply not listing them)).  In the other Suns'
host.equiv files, cos is similarily explicitly not trusted.

The problem is that lpd only allows machines listed in the
/etc/host.equiv file to queue requests.

Is there any way to set things up so that lpd will accept print
requests from any machine, and still have some machines be explicitly
not trusted (so that one has to supply a password when rlogging into
those machines)?

All of our Suns are running SunOS 3.3 (which is based on BSD 4.2).

Thanks for any help that you can give me,
