+Access control
+.PP
+The printer system maintains protected spooling areas so that
+users cannot circumvent printer accounting or
+remove files other than their own.
+The strategy used to maintain protected
+spooling areas is as follows:
+.IP \(bu 3
+The spooling area is writable only by a \fIdaemon\fP user
+and \fIdaemon\fP group.
+.IP \(bu 3
+The \fIlpr\fP program runs set-user-id to \fIroot\fP and
+set-group-id to group \fIdaemon\fP. The \fIroot\fP access permits
+reading any file required. Accessibility is verified
+with an \fIaccess\fP\|(2) call. The group ID
+is used in setting up proper ownership of files
+in the spooling area for \fIlprm\fP.
+.IP \(bu 3
+Control files in a spooling area are made with \fIdaemon\fP
+ownership and group ownership \fIdaemon\fP. Their mode is 0660.
+This insures control files are not modified by a user
+and that no user can remove files except through \fIlprm\fP.
+.IP \(bu 3
+The spooling programs,
+\fIlpd\fP, \fIlpq\fP, and \fIlprm\fP run set-user-id to \fIroot\fP
+and set-group-id to group \fIdaemon\fP to access spool files and printers.
+.IP \(bu 3
+The printer server, \fIlpd\fP,
+uses the same verification procedures as \fIrshd\fP\|(8C)
+in authenticating remote clients. The host on which a client
+resides must be present in the file /etc/hosts.equiv or /etc/hosts.lpd and
+the request message must come from a reserved port number.
+.PP
+In practice, none of \fIlpd\fP, \fIlpq\fP, or
+\fIlprm\fP would have to run as user \fIroot\fP if remote
+spooling were not supported. In previous incarnations of
+the printer system \fIlpd\fP ran set-user-id to \fIdaemon\fP,
+set-group-id to group \fIspooling\fP, and \fIlpq\fP and \fIlprm\fP ran
+set-group-id to group \fIspooling\fP.
