NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     unsharePrinters - stop sharing local printers with	remote hosts.

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     /usr/sysadm/privbin/unsharePrinters

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     unsharePrinters is	a privileged command that disables the sharing of
     local printers by removing	the .rhosts file for the "lp" user account.
     Additionally, if the "lp" account has no password,	'*' is written into
     the password field	for the	"lp" account in	/etc/passwd.  This prevents
     the "lp" account on other hosts from being	able to	rlogin(3C) to the
     local "lp"	account, which disables	printer	sharing.

CAVEATS    [Toc]    [Back]

     unsharePrinters will not succeed in disabling access to local printers if
     one of the	files /etc/hosts.equiv or /etc/hosts.lpd contains entries
     other than	"localhost".  hosts named in either of these files will	be
     able to submit print jobs.	 sharePrinters detects these cases and issues
     warnings to the system administration log,	/var/sysadm/salog.
