G'day all,
I am currently trying to upgrade LPRng and IFHP from versions 3.6.12 and 3.3.9
(respectively) to versions 3.4.4 and 3.7.4 (respectively).
The main problem I am encountering at the moment is an difference in the way
accounting files are handled. The documentation says that if the af:
parameter is of the format host%port, then a connection will be open to that
and the accounting data is written. Well I have discovered that LPRng seems
to be opening that connection correctly, but IFHP isn't doing the same. IFHP
seems to be opening a file of the name "host%port", instead of opening a
connection to it.
Looking more closely at the LPRng and IFHP code, I have found that in the
older versions an open file descriptor was passed from LPRng to IFHP which
pointed to the accounting "file". This seems to have been removed in the
newer versions. Is there any reason for this? Was there a problem with the
way it was working previously?
Also, every line that is written to the account "file" is done via an
open-write-close method. This also is different to previous versions and when
connecting to a host%port style of accounting file is causing extra connections
that are not necessarily needed. Is there any reason for this too?
Can the older methods be re-instated into the code base?
Thanks,
Christopher
