Irix has a command called ``addclient'' for this purpose. It is not
our recommendation to open up the lp account to all users as was
suggested, but rather to set up an appropriate .rhosts file. The
addclient program, which is a shell script you can inspect, creates
a .rhosts entry suitable for the network printing scripts shipped
with our systems.
