rlpdaemon

Todd White — Thu, 06 Jul 2000 20:07:52 GMT

I am having some problems configuring my hp server to start the rlpdaemon. Any help anyone could give would be appreciated. I am running an L class server with HP_UX 11

Thanks,
Todd

rlpdaemon is started by inetd. Check inetd.conf to see that rlpdaemon is enabled:

printer stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/rlpdaemon rlpdaemon -i

(The above is a single line) Like many inetd programs, rlpdaemon is normally not running until it is needed. In a new installation, rlpdaemon is always enabled.

Check the man page for rlpdaemon. It describes a couple of options to start and control access to remote printing.

I have currently modified my rc scripts according to the man page to start it automatically on startup. I have also tried starting hte daemon manually .. when I do a process list .. I dont see it running .. should I?

I believe rlpdaemon is spawned by the super daemon inetd and so you will not find it in the process table ... if you want to test it you might want to try to telnet to the printer port (515)

# telnet localhost 515

BTW you might want to check your log file for any tell-tale messages...

Remove the #(remark) before the line if any. Do inetd -c. Try installing a remote printer from another server to run from this service.
