You might take a look a sudo. It is freeware that allow non super users to act like super users sometimes. It can be a little fun to setup, but it works great.

It will be running 10.2 on HPUX 11.23. We are planning to stop using our network print server and spool through Unix directly to the IP address. Here is the challenge. Joe produces a quite sizable job to the printer. So, the UniVerse spooler processes the job and hands it off to the Unix spooler. At this point, the job is no longer visible to the UniVerse spooler. Since 'usd' is running with superuser level, the Unix print file gets created with the same security level. Joe decides to cancel the print job. He can not execute SPOOL -CANCEL because UniVerse is no longer cognizant of the file. He cant 'cancel' the job, because he does not have security level. Question: How to create a print job from UniVerse, so that the Unix print file will have an ownership/security that will allow Joe to cancel his own print job. Note: If you press the <cancel> button on printer, Unix seems to say 'oh, something happened to the printing, let me start over and print it again' Thoughts, ideas, comments, criticisms.............
