.SH NAME
in.lpd \- BSD print protocol adaptor
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fB/usr/lib/print/in.lpd\fR
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
\fBin.lpd\fR implements the network listening service for the \fBBSD\fR print
protocol specified in \fBRFC\fR 1179. The \fBBSD\fR print protocol provides a
remote interface for systems to interact with a local spooling system. The
protocol defines five standard requests from the client to the server: starting
queue processing, transferring print jobs, retrieving terse status, retrieving
verbose status, and canceling print jobs.
.sp
.LP
The \fBin.lpd\fR service is managed by the service management facility,
\fBsmf\fR(5), under the service identifier:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
svc:/network/lp
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or
requesting restart, can be performed using \fBsvcadm\fR(1M). Responsibility for
initiating and restarting this service is delegated to \fBinetd\fR(1M). Use
\fBinetadm\fR(1M) to make configuration changes and to view configuration
information for this service. The service's status can be queried using the
\fBsvcs\fR(1) command.
.sp
.LP
\fBin.lpd\fR uses the \fBconfig/log_from_remote\fR property to allow or
disallow remote access. The default value of this property, \fBlocalhost\fR,
disallows remote access.
.sp
.LP
\fBinetd\fR waits for connections on \fBTCP\fR port 515. Upon receipt of a
connect request, \fBin.lpd\fR is started to service the connection. Once the
request has been filled, \fBin.lpd\fR closes the connection and exits.
.SH EXAMPLES
