fixes:
a) the configured default printer entry might turn out to become a security hole
Although lpd isn't enabled by default in FreeBSD 4 and later versions
bad things might happen because of a simple copy and paste failure:
- fill up root-fs, if /dev/lpt0 doesn't exist
- fill up the spool dir (either root-fs or var-fs) if machine hadn't been
designed as print server
Therefore best decision: if people want printing, then configure both
1. /etc/rc.conf
2. /etc/printcap
the default entry wouldn't have served well all tastes and needs anyway...
design of most of our config files is, to have commented out suggestions
if a service is not active.
b) [Garance]
fix old and wrong documentation:
input filters are possible even if you print to a remote printer
this makes FreeBSDs implementation of lpd currently the best without
having to switch to port monster LPRng ...
c) fix pointer to wrong handbook section for a longer time .. so I doesn't fix the number
I'm only referring to the printing section, otherwise this would have to be fixed several
times, if the chapters should be reordered again ...
d) typo: chose -> choose

# 23037 23-Feb-1997 peter

Revert $FreeBSD$ to $Id$


# 21673 14-Jan-1997 jkh

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.


# 18912 13-Oct-1996 joerg

Uncomment the "raw" lp entry in /etc/printcap. We start lpd by
default, so there's no use in running it without any printer
definition in printcap. Also added a bunch of hints about the printer
setup, to guide the admin about the printer setup (handbook,
"apsfilter"), and a commented-out sample setup for a remote printer.

In the same line, add /var/spool/lpd/output to BSD.var.dist since it
is referred to by the "lp" entry in printcap.


# 9703 24-Jul-1995 jkh

/dev/lp -> /dev/lpt0


# 5026 10-Dec-1994 ats

Change the example in the printcap file for the spooling dir from
/var/spool/lpd to /var/spool/output/lpd. This is the new location
where the lpd-system now searches for files.


# 150 19-Jul-1993 rgrimes

lp device was setup and enabled, changed it to be commented out. This caused
lpd to run on system where it had not been configured.


# 38 20-Jun-1993 rgrimes

This commit was generated by cvs2svn to compensate for changes in r37,
which included commits to RCS files with non-trunk default branches.
