 PLP - The Public Line Printer Spooler

 Have anyone (maybe the author) tried this in sunOS 4.0?

 I've succeded with this 'almost'. The first problem
 is that setreuid have changed. If you not is ruid root or
 the same ruid as euid you can't set back euid to root.

 This I fixed with setreuid(0, -1) in a few strategic places.

 But I've still problems with statd and lockd. I've a NFS mounted
 spool directory. This works fine. But lpd hangs when it starts up
 in /etc/rc. (Yes, I changed the removal of lockfile)

 If anyone fixed this I would be very happy to know.
