In /opt/hpnp/admin/jetadmin there is a gross error that does not seem to
make sense. It seems to exist in most of the D.01.X versions. The lines
are the following:
12 LOG=$TMP/jetadmin.log
13
14 if [ ! -f "$LOG" ]
15 then
16 touch $LOG
17 chmod 666 $LOG
18 fi
Changing chmod to 0644 or 0600 can avoid problems with .rhost links out
of /tmp.
Or better yet, as Russell suggests fetch 4.12 from HP and complain to your
sales rep that HP delivers an apparently ancient version of jetadmin.

;)I think that's been fixed or it depends on the install... 4.1.2 doesn't
;)do it.
I have not seen the problem in 4.12 either.
