The  file  specifies  which hosts should be permitted to print to
printers via the local host. Unlike the file, modifying this file
will  not  change  the permissions of remote hosts to access ser-
vices other than LPD. One hostname is placed on each  line,  each
in one of the following forms: +
hostname
-hostname
A  line  with  a  single plus sign ('+') indicates that all hosts
will have permission to print to the local host. Use of this con-
figuration  directive is not reccomended, as it creates potential
for unauthorized access.  A line consisting of	a  hostname  will
cause the host by that hostname to be added to the access control
list. This host will have permission to  print	using  the  local
host.  Prefixing a hostname line with a dash ('-') will cause the
host by that hostname to be removed from the access control  list
rather	than  added.  Note that changes to this file may not take
effect until the line-printer  daemon  is  restarted.	The  file
could contain hostnames such as the following: hamlet
lear
prospero
-setebos
In  the  above	example,  all  of the listed hosts are allowed to
print using this host, except for setebos which would  be  denied
access	even  if  it was listed in the file.  Line printer daemon
