I wouldn't normally chime in like this, but I want to add a "me too" here. In my case it would be perfectly acceptable to eliminate all host checking on the part of LPD, since the LPD port is firewalled off from everything but our local network anyway. Haven't been able to find any way to do this (or what Mark asks for) in the docs anywhere.
