System name:		super-colon-blow.mit.edu
Type and version:	i586 8.4.4
Display type:		XFree86 3.3.6 GLINT

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh (/bin/bash?)
Window manager:		/usr/X11R6/bin/twm

What were you trying to do?

I was using /etc/athena/cluster.local to set the cluster printer.

What's wrong:

getcluster sticks semicolons in /var/athena/clusterinfo. The system-wide
cshrc puts the semicolon into the PRINTER env. variable. lpr/lpq/etc.
have been breaking on this.

What should have happened:

Instead of

bash# lpq
Printer 'rick;@localhost' - cannot open connection - Connection refused

something like

bash# lpq
no entries

I guess.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:

Dunno. getcluster source?
