Bucher) Newsgroups: comp.unix.questions,comp.unix.bsd.misc,comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc Subject: restricted use of lpr Date: 28 Jun 1995 18:52:11 GMT Organization: Michigan Technological University Lines: 16 Message-ID: <3ss8cr$loc@news.mtu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: pacemaker.cts.mtu.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL1] System: BSD/OS 1.1 I had a similar question about 2 weeks back... The problem is that I want only a few specific users (the ones in the 'wheel' group) to have access to the lp* commands... before when I wanted this set of users to have access to the gcc compiler I just changed the group to 'wheel'. But don't the lpr, lprm, etc commands have to have daemon as the group and be SUID? How can I allow only these users to access the commands besides adding them to the daemon group in /etc/group? (which is a Bad Thing(tm) I guess) Thanks, Boo
