Package: lprng
Version: 3.8.10-1
Severity: normal
Somewhere between (Debian) potato's 3.6.12-8 and woody's 3.8.10-1,
shell script input filters can no longer write to file descriptor 3,
which the documentation still states is attached to the accounting
file if specified. This breaks lprfax, for example.
Here is the input filter:
#!/bin/bash
. /usr/lib/lprfax/init
Script_Init $@
Erun $REMOVE fax-filter
PAGES=$(ls -1 *.g3)
NPAGES=$(echo $PAGES | wc -w)
Erun $REMOVE [ $NPAGES -gt 0 ]
Erun $REMOVE $JOIN $PAGES
Erun $ABORT echo $JOB $NPAGES >&3
exit 0
Here is the printcap entry:
.global:\
:save_on_error:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P:\
:lf=:\
:af=:\
:pw=80:\
:pl=66:\
:px=1440:\
:mx=0:\
:mc#0:
fax:\
:server:\
:tc=.global:\
:lpd_bounce:\
:lp=faxint@localhost:\
:af=acct:\
:ab:\
:pl=61:\
:pr=/usr/bin/pr -l 61 -o 0 -h $-f:\
:if=/usr/lib/lprfax/input-filter:\
:be=/usr/lib/lprfax/fp-filter:\
:hl:
Here is a typical accounting file entry with the old lprng:
jobstart '-Hintech19.enhanced.com' '-ncamm' '-Pfax' '-kcfA289intech19.enhanced.com'
'-b13583' '-t2002-10-17-13:55:09.000' '-CA' '-JMaguire_Camm_off'
289 1
jobend '-Hintech19.enhanced.com' '-ncamm' '-Pfax' '-kcfA289intech19.enhanced.com'
'-b13583' '-t2002-10-17-13:55:11.000' '-CA' '-JMaguire_Camm_off'
Here is what happens now:
jobstart '-Hintech19.enhanced.com' '-ncamm' '-Pfax' '-kcfA782intech19.enhanced.com'
'-b13583' '-t2002-10-17-12:49:23.000' '-CA' '-JMaguire_Camm_off'
jobend '-Hintech19.enhanced.com' '-ncamm' '-Pfax' '-kcfA782intech19.enhanced.com'
'-b13583' '-t2002-10-17-12:49:25.000' '-CA' '-JMaguire_Camm_off'
Take care,
