The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

In general LPRng is expected to handle traditional /etc/printcap.

Another problem: When lpd runs as non-root, outgoing IP connections
cannot originate from the lower port numbers. Some lpd implementations
require incoming connections to originate from these reserved ports.
