Very Computer

Hi all.

I have a network connecting several linux and DOS machines.
One of linux servers has two printers attached to it.

When I trying to remove print job from queue,
lprm claimes that permission denied, regardless of
what machine it is issued from.

When I issue lprm from that machine where print job
was submitted, privilegies are unsufficient under both
my and root name. When I issue it from machine,
where printer is connected, I can remove job under root
name, but not under my own name.

But when I submit job from machine, where printer is
connected, I can remove it under my own name.

Both machines mention each other in /etc/hosts.equiv

Most acceptated thing is to be able to remove job
from any machine in the network, regardless where it
is submited, logging under user's own name, becouse
it would allow users of PC-NFS to remove their jobs
doing telnet or rsh.

The man page for Berkeley lprm states:

     Only the super-user can remove  print  jobs  submitted  from
     another host.

The linux man page does not contain this sentence, but the code contains
the following comment:

/*
 * If root is removing a file on the local machine, allow it.
 * If root is removing a file from a remote machine, only allow
 * files sent from the remote machine to be removed.
 * Normal users can only remove the file from where it was sent.
