LPD(8,C) AIX TCP/IP User's Guide LPD(8,C) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- lpd PURPOSE Provides the server function for the qdaemon command. SYNTAX +----+ +----+ +-| -d |-+ +-| -l |-+ lpd ---| +----+ |---| +----+ |---| +--------+ +--------+ DESCRIPTION The lpd daemon allows AIX systems to accept print jobs from remote computers that use the lpr/lpd printing system. If a remote system using lpd is configured to route print jobs to an AIX system, the lpd daemon can receive print jobs from the remote system and route them to qdaemon for printing. The lpd daemon is started by inetd upon request and is in the inetd.conf configuration file. The AIX lpd is not intended for use with other AIX systems or within a single system or cluster. See the print and qdaemon pages in the AIX Operating System Commands Reference for information on printing within a single system or between two AIX systems. FLAGS The lpd daemon options are: -d Turns on debugging. Debugging information will be written to /tmp/lpd.out. -l Causes lpd to log information using syslog. FILES /etc/hosts.lpd Defines foreign hosts that are permitted to print. /etc/hosts.equiv Defines foreign hosts that are permitted to execute commands. RELATED INFORMATION In this book: "hosts.lpd." print, qdaemon and syslogd, refer to AIX Operating System Commands Reference. syslog, refer to AIX Operating System Technical Reference.
