The LPRng package consists of
the following executables and configuration files:
lpd - the lpd print server program
lpr, lpq, lprm,
lpc, and lpstat client programs for printing,
status queries, job removal, server configuration, and
System V lpstat emulation
respectively.
printcap print queue
database file which is used by all the server and client
programs
lpd.confLPRng configuration options which is
used by all the server and client programs
lpd.perms permission
information which is used by the lpd server to control user actions.
LPRng uses the configure script generated by the GNUautoconf utility to generate a set of Makefiles. These are used by GNUmake to compile and install the LPRng software. The following Makefile variables and values are set by configure to specify the location of
the LPRng software:

These are used to install the following files:

You can set explicit values for the paths by using the
override --name=PATH. For
example:
In addition to these standard configure options the following options
provided.
--disable-setuid
Install the executables without setuid ROOT
permissions. Non-setuid clients and programs are
inherently more secure than SETUID programs, and system
administrators would be well advised to install them
without SETUID root permissions. Please see Security Considerations for more
details about this option.
--enable-priv_ports
Require connections to the lpd server to come from a privileged
port (range 1-1023). By default LPRng will allow connections from any
port. Please see Security
Considerations for more details about this
option.
--disable-force_localhost
The default LPRng
configuration assumes that all printing will be done
via a lpd print spooler
running on the local host system. However, many larger
sites prefer that all users do their printing via a few
central servers, and do not run lpd servers on user systems. The --disable-force_localhost
configuration sets the default value of the force_localhost value to false, by default allowing the LPRng clients to connect directly to
lpd servers on remote
hosts.
--disable-require_configfiles
By default, the lpr, lpq, lprm, and lpc clients require the lpd.conf and printcap files to be present on the
localhost. The --disable-require_configfiles literal
removes this requirement.
--enable-kerberos
Include support for Kerberos 5 authenticated
transfers.
--enable-mit_kerberos4
Include support for MIT Kerberos 4 authenticated
transfers.
--disable-kerberos_checks
Disable checks for kerberos support libraries,
etc.
--with-lpddir=DIR
lpd executable directory (default ${sbindir}). For
historical configuration compatibility.
--with-filterdir=DIR
Filter directory (default ${libexecdir}/filters).
For historical configuration compatibility.
--with-lpd_conf_path=PATH
Path of lpd.conf file. For
historical configuration compatibility.
--with-lpd_perms_path=PATH
Path of lpd.perms file.
For historical configuration compatibility.
--with-printcap_path=PATH
Path of printcap file. For
historical configuration compatibility.
--with-ld_library_path=PATHLIST
Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable of
filters to this value.
--with-filter_path=PATHLIST
Set the PATH environment variable of filters to this
value.
--with-userid=NAME
Run LPRng as this user,
default daemon
--with-groupid=NAME
Run LPRng as this group,
default daemon
--with-lockfile=PATH
The lockfile path. This will be expanded to
PATH.server or PATH.port allowing multiple LPRng servers to run on a single
host.
--with-filterdir=PATH
Location of the filters installed by LPRng.
--with-done_jobs=N
retain status of last N done jobs.
--with-done_jobs_max_age=N
remove status of done jobs older than N seconds.
--with-chooser_routine=NAME
name of chooser routine provided by user
--with-order_routine=NAME
name of order routine provided by user
--with-user_objs=NAME
object file with routines provided by user
--with-user_include=NAME
include file with templates for routines provided by
user
--disable-strip
Do not strip the executables before installing. For
debugging and diagnostic purposes.
--enable-unixsocket
enable the use of UNIX sockets for localhost
connections
--with-unixsocketpath=PATHNAME
the pathname of the UNIX socket
It is recommended that you use one of the following
configurations:
If you already have a print spooling system installed
and want to install LPRng for
testing purposes or as an alternative to the existing
system and keep your existing print spooling system,
use:
./configure
use defaults for file locations and permissions:
/usr/local/{bin,sbin,libexec/filters,man}
requires lpd to run on the local host
executables installed setuid ROOT
If you have manual pages in /usr/share/man, your existing print
spooling system has executables in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin, and you want to replace your
existing print spooling system, use:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
--mandir=/usr/share/man
executables and files in
/usr/{bin,sbin,libexec/filters}
/usr/share/man/man[0-9]
requires lpd to run on the local host
everything installed setuid ROOT
If you have manual pages in /usr/share/man and allow jobs (by
default) to be sent directly to the server host
(lightweight operation), use:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
--mandir=/usr/share/man --disable-force_localhost
executables and files in
/usr/{bin,sbin,libexec/filters}
/usr/share/man/man[0-9]
does not require lpd to run on the local host
everything installed setuid ROOT
