(VAX) Version 6.3B: pdpr

From: John T Kohl <jtkohl@ATHENA.MIT.EDU>
To: bugs@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
System type, version:	(VAX) Version 6.3B
System name:		lycus
What's wrong:

If I use a mixed-case or uppercase name for Palladium printers, hesiod
can find them, but the Palladium server barfs:

[{1}lycus:/afs/athena.mit.edu/user/j/jtkohl/profession/duit]
% pdpr -PCALvin /etc/motd
pdpr: That printer is not registered with this server
[{1}lycus:/afs/athena.mit.edu/user/j/jtkohl/profession/duit]
% pdpr -Pcalvin /etc/motd
[{1}lycus:/afs/athena.mit.edu/user/j/jtkohl/profession/duit]
% 

What should have happened:

Printer names should be case-desensitized.

John
