In /opt/hpnp/admin/jetadmin there is a gross error that does not seem to
make sense.  It seems to exist in most of the D.01.X versions.  The lines
are the following:

    12  LOG=$TMP/jetadmin.log
    13
    14  if [ ! -f "$LOG" ]
    15  then
    16        touch $LOG
    17        chmod 666 $LOG
    18  fi

Changing chmod to 0644 or 0600 can avoid problems with .rhost links out
of /tmp.

Or better yet, as Russell suggests fetch 4.12 from HP and complain to your
sales rep that HP delivers an apparently ancient version of jetadmin.

    * JetAdmin for UNIX are available from:
     1. Anonymous ftp site
          ftp.hp.com.
             Directory:  /pub/networking/software
     2. Through the web at
          http://www.hp.com/go/support
             Select "Network Printing"

;)I think that's been fixed or it depends on the install... 4.1.2 doesn't
;)do it.

        I have not seen the problem in 4.12 either.
