- Get rid of a lot of the static variables which were shared by many routines and programs in the suite. - Create an abstract interface to the printcap database, so that other retrieval and iteration mechanisms could be developed (e.g., YP, Hesiod, or automatic retrieval from a trusted server). - Give each capability a human-readable name in addition to the historic two-character one. - Otherwise generally clean up a lot of dark corners. Many still remain. - When submitting jobs, use the official login name record (from getlogin()) if there is one, rather than reverse-mapping the uid. More to come...

|
|
.Nm chkprintcap
|
|
.Nd check validity of entries in the print spooler database
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm chkprintcap
|
|
.Op Fl d
|
|
.Op Fl f Ar printcap
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Chkprintcap
|
|
scans a
|
|
.Xr printcap 5
|
|
database
|
|
(named by the
|
|
.Ar printcap
|
|
argument, or by default
|
|
.Pa /etc/printcap ) ,
|
|
looking for entries which are invalid in one way or another.
|
|
The following checks are currently implemented:
|
|
.Bl -enum -offset indent
|
|
.It
|
|
.Sq Li tc=
|
|
references were properly expanded
|
|
.It
|
|
.Sq Li tc=
|
|
references did not form a loop
|
|
.It
|
|
No two printers share the same spool directory
|
|
.Po
|
|
.Sq Li sd=
|
|
capability
|
|
.Pc .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm Chkprintcap
|
|
exits with a status equal to the number of errors encountered before
|
|
processing stopped. (In some cases, processing can stop before the
|
|
entire file is scanned.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
flag is given,
|
|
.Nm chkprintcap
|
|
will attempt to create any missing spool directories, giving them
|
|
.Sq Li u=rwx,go=rx
|
|
(0755) mode, group
|
|
.Sq Li daemon ,
|
|
and the owner specified by the
|
|
.Sq Li du=
|
|
capability in the database (default 1, which corresponds to user
|
|
.Sq Li daemon ) .

.Sh AUTHOR
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm chkprintcap
|
|
command was written by
|
|
.An Garrett A. Wollman Aq wollman@lcs.mit.edu .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Not enough sanity-checking is done. At a minimum, the ownership and
|
|
mode of the spool directories should also be checked. Other
|
|
parameters whose value could cause
|
|
.Xr lpd 8
|
|
to fail should be diagnosed.
