(In some cases, processing can stop before the 66entire file is scanned.) 67.Pp 68If the 69.Fl d 70flag is given, 71.Nm 72will attempt to create any missing spool directories, giving them 73.Sq Li u=rwx,go=rx 74(0755) mode, group 75.Sq Li daemon , 76and the owner specified by the 77.Sq Li du= 78capability in the database (default 1, which corresponds to user 79.Sq Li daemon ) . 80.Sh SEE ALSO 81.Xr lpr 1 , 82.Xr printcap 5 , 83.Xr lpd 8 84.Sh AUTHORS 85The 86.Nm 87command was written by 88.An Garrett A. Wollman Aq wollman@lcs.mit.edu . 89.Sh BUGS 90Not enough sanity-checking is done. At a minimum, the ownership and 91mode of the spool directories should also be checked. Other 92parameters whose value could cause 93.Xr lpd 8 94to fail should be diagnosed. 95
