I am running 1.9.17 on a Digital Alpha running Digital Unix 4.0b. I had
originally setup the guest account as the user 'nobody' and filesharing
worked without a hitch. I just started sharing printers and it didn't
work. I change the guest user to 'lp'
The /etc/password shows (lp:*:8:12:Line Printer Subsystem:/users/lp:)
This seemed to work fine for both printing and file sharing for guests.
My question: Are there any security issues or other problems in using lp
as the guest account?
TIA!
