? It was added to BSD 4.3, it was unknown in BSD 4.2.

Yes, that is correct. If you need the capability that hosts.lpd provides,
here is what you do.

1) make a copy of your lpd in case you screw up.

2) emacs lpd and change the string /etc/hosts.equiv to
   /etc/hosts.lpd\0\0. Use adb if you don't have emacs.
   the `\0's are null's. Don't change the size of the file!

3) cp /etc/hosts.equiv /etc/hosts.lpd. Edit the latter.
