As a followup to my posting above: I cant get normal printing accounting to
work either:(
When running lpf by hand it correctly makes an entry in /var/account which
can be seen by pac(8). But when /usr/libexec/lpr/lpf is used in
/etc/printcap nothing happens. I have set "af", "pw" and "pl" to reasonable
values:
carnegie|lp|difk:\
:if=/usr/libexec/lpf:\
:sh:af=/var/account/carnegie_acct:\
:pw#77:\
:pl#58:\
:rm=192.168.0.253:sd=/var/spool/output/carnegie:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
I have also tried making a simple awk-script for relaying stdin to stdout
and put it in place for lpf but then it actually fights back on me. lpf is
very silent about its doings.
So, tips anyone?
