Not documented anywhere that I found, but I found necessary:
when running "/usr/lib/accept" on the unixpc, you MUST be su'd
to user lp.  Ordinary su is evidently not sufficient.  I would
recommend writting this on the manual page for accept.
accept doesn't give any error message when not run as lp,
but nothing happens.
This took me a couple of late hours to find.
I have no idea what the official behavior is supposed to be.
