Lines: 13 Approved: Sun-Spots@rice.edu Original-Date: 11 May 89 20:20:15 GMT X-Sun-Spots-Digest: Volume 7, Issue 291, message 14 of 16 We've recently been having a problem with pc-nfs version 3.0 not getting the user name correct on output. It turns out that it is really a lpr problem. Lpr on the suns go looking in /etc/utmp for the user name but doesn't take into account the possible of a daemon starting the print job so when the user isn't in /etc/utmp it puts the name of the person logged into the console instead. If there are no etries in /etc/utmp it lets the name gets passed from the daemon properly. I don't have source for sunOS so couldn't go tracking it down any further then that.
