After several years away from using LPRng, I decided to give it a shot again. However, I think someone was a bit too agressive with security concerns...
On a Sun Ultra 10 running Solaris 8, I ran the following configure command: CFLAGS=-O2 ./configure --disable-setuid --enable-priv_ports --disable-force_localhost --with-included-gettext then make clean all Everything went fine, and I installed the software. However, the docs say to run 'checkpc -f', but I seem to get this message: checkpc: WARNING- LPD_CONF environment variable option enabled and running as root! You have an exposed security breach! Recompile without -DGETENV or do not run clients as ROOT In fact, if I try to do anything as root, I get that message, even with 'allow_getenv@' in my lpd.conf file. Uh... this makes it quite impossible to run the daemon, doesn't it? Suggestions on a fix here?
