	I've noticed a few comments regarding the lpd in NetBSD recently -
	is anyone interested in integrating LPRng into NetBSD?

LPRng - An Enhanced Printer Spooler

		 ABSTRACT

The  LPRng  software  is an enhanced, extended, and
portable  version of the Berkeley LPR software.  While
providing  the  same general functionality, the imple-
mentation  is  completely new and provides support for
the  following  features:  lightweight  (no  databases
needed)  lpr, lpc, and lprm programs; dynamic redirec-
tion  of  print  queues; automatic job holding; highly
verbose  diagnostics; multiple printers serving a sin-
gle  queue;  client  programs  do not need to run SUID
root;  greatly enhanced security checks; and a greatly
improved permission and authorization mechanism.
