(In some cases, processing can stop before the 68entire file is scanned.) 69.Pp 70If the 71.Fl d 72flag is given, 73.Nm chkprintcap 74will attempt to create any missing spool directories, giving them 75.Sq Li u=rwx,go=rx 76(0755) mode, group 77.Sq Li daemon , 78and the owner specified by the 79.Sq Li du= 80capability in the database (default 1, which corresponds to user 81.Sq Li daemon ) . 82.Sh SEE ALSO 83.Xr lpr 1 , 84.Xr printcap 5 , 85.Xr lpd 8 86.Sh AUTHORS 87The 88.Nm chkprintcap 89command was written by 90.An Garrett A. Wollman Aq wollman@lcs.mit.edu . 91.Sh BUGS 92Not enough sanity-checking is done. At a minimum, the ownership and 93mode of the spool directories should also be checked. Other 94parameters whose value could cause 95.Xr lpd 8 96to fail should be diagnosed. 97
