I just checked for /usr/local/sbin/lpraccnt
It doesn't exist either...I thought a symlink creation would
fail if the (link source) file didn't exist. I guess if the
file was deleted AFTER the symlink was created, the symlink
would remain. Understandable, but naughty.
Here's why it isn't there; from the 3.8.13 CHANGES:
The lpraccnt program is removed from the distribution. The 'monitor'
program
can be used instead. I wonder why I had two of these in the distribution.

YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST
The address you post from MUST be your subscription address
If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests
or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body. For the impatient,
to subscribe to a list with name LIST, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
with: | example:
subscribe LIST <mailaddr> | subscribe lprng-digest [EMAIL PROTECTED]
unsubscribe LIST <mailaddr> | unsubscribe lprng [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you have major problems, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word
LPRNGLIST in the SUBJECT line.
