What were you trying to do?
print to a printer on this machine.
What's wrong:
lpr reports "Permission denied."
What should have happened:
lpd is running as daemon; /dev/lp* and /dev/parport* are group
lp. daemon is in group lp but for some reason that wasn't good
enough. changing the devices to group daemon (as in rh6.2)
"fixed" the problem (enabled printing). I don't understand why
the default group setup didn't work, though.
