            Bug ID: 238407
           Summary: lpd(8) man page -- missing operational detail
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Manual Pages
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: rfg-freebsd at tristatelogic.com
                CC: doc at FreeBSD.org

It appears to be the case that the print spooler, lpd, re-reads the
/etc/printcap file when changes to that file are made.  This important
operational fact is not documented in the lpr(8) man page, even though the man
page is explicit in noting that the /etc/printcap file is read by lpd at
startup time.

The lpr(8) man page should be revised so as to specify ALL of the times and/or
conditions which will cause lpr to process or reprocess the current contents of
the current /etc/printcap file.
