NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       /usr/lib/print/in.lpd

DESCRIPTION

13       in.lpd  implements the network listening service for the BSD print pro‐
14       tocol specified in RFC 1179. The BSD print protocol provides  a  remote
15       interface  for  systems  to  interact with a local spooling system. The
16       protocol defines five standard requests from the client to the  server:
17       starting  queue  processing,  transferring print jobs, retrieving terse
18       status, retrieving verbose status, and canceling print jobs.
19
20
21       The in.lpd service is  managed  by  the  service  management  facility,
22       smf(5), under the service identifier:
23
24         svc:/network/lp
25
26
27
28
29       Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or
30       requesting restart, can be performed using  svcadm(1M).  Responsibility
31       for  initiating  and restarting this service is delegated to inetd(1M).
32       Use inetadm(1M) to make configuration changes and to view configuration
33       information for this service. The service's status can be queried using
34       the svcs(1) command.
35
36
37       in.lpd uses the config/log_from_remote property to  allow  or  disallow
38       remote access. The default value of this property, localhost, disallows
39       remote access.
40
41
42       inetd waits for connections on TCP port 515. Upon receipt of a  connect
43       request,  in.lpd is started to service the connection. Once the request
44       has been filled, in.lpd closes the connection and exits.
