C.2. Setting Up The Test Version Spool Queues

The LPRng TESTSUPPORT directory contains a set of shell scripts and files that need to be installed in the appropriate directory. The following steps are used.

1. First, you need to set up your HOST environment variable to the fully qualified domain name of your host and your USER environment variable to your user name. This is done in order to get values to put into the Test Version configuration files.

2. In the TESTSUPPORT directory, edit the Makefile, and specify the location of the Test Version spool queues. The default location is /tmp; since on most systems these files are deleted or are available to everybody, a more secure location should most likely be used. DO NOT USE THE RAW TESTFILE DIRECTORY. These files need to be copied and placed in another directory.

3. The LPD_CONF environment variable should be set to the location of the installed lpd.conf file.

4. In the TESTSUPPORT directory, run make. This will copy and install the necessary files.

Example:

  CSH:
    setenv HOST {fully qualified domain name};
    setenv USER `whoami`
    setenv LPD_CONF /tmp/LPD/lpd.conf
    set path=( /tmp/LPD $path )
    unsetenv PRINTER
   Example:
      setenv HOST h4.private
      setenv USER papowell
      setenv LPD_CONF /tmp/LPD/lpd.conf
      set path=( /tmp/LPD $path )
      unsetenv PRINTER
  Bourne Shell:
    HOST={fully qualified domain name}; export HOST;
    USER='whoami'; export USER
    LPD_CONF=/tmp/LPD/lpd.conf.$HOST; export LPD_CONF
    PATH=/tmp/LPD:$PATH; export PATH
    PRINTER=; export PRINTER
   Example:
      HOST=h4.private; export HOST
      USER=papowell; export USER
      LPD_CONF=/tmp/LPD/lpd.conf.$HOST; export LPD_CONF
      PATH=/tmp/LPD:$PATH; export PATH
      PRINTER=; export PRINTER
  cd TESTSUPPORT
  make
