[lug] Remote printing?

[Hugh Brown]

It could be, but why are you looking at the manpage for hosts.equiv when
you are using hosts.lpd

The first line in the manpage is:

 /etc/hosts.equiv  -  list  of  hosts  and  users  that are
       granted "trusted" r command access to your system


I'm confused at how there is a tie to printing.
