https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238407 Bug ID: 238407 Summary: lpd(8) man page -- missing operational detail Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Manual Pages Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: rfg-freebsd@tristatelogic.com CC: doc@FreeBSD.org It appears to be the case that the print spooler, lpd, re-reads the /etc/printcap file when changes to that file are made. This important operational fact is not documented in the lpr(8) man page, even though the man page is explicit in noting that the /etc/printcap file is read by lpd at startup time. The lpr(8) man page should be revised so as to specify ALL of the times and/or conditions which will cause lpr to process or reprocess the current contents of the current /etc/printcap file. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
