Given the size of files nowadays, shouldn't this be a
little larger?
This was recently changed to 0 in current, but not in stable.
(zero meaning "no limit"). It probably makes sense to pick
*some* limit instead of "infinity", but I couldn't come up
with a good reason for any specific value, so we just went
with zero (aka "infinity").
Also, maybe it's just me, but given this (from man printcap):
Name Type Default Description
mx num 1000 maximum file size (in BUFSIZ
blocks), zero = unlimited
it's not obvious to me that "Type num" means that, if i wanted
an unlimited maximum file size, the printcap entry should be
"mx#0", rather than "mx=0". Perhaps more expressive examples
could be helpful in /usr/src/etc/printcap.
Heh. It's obvious to people who have done a lot with printcap
or termcap, but it's true that people often miss that. I thought
I had added some logic to chkprintcap for that (so you'd at least
see a warning message when lpd starts up). Perhaps I only did
that in my own versions, and never committed it to freebsd.
