We've recently been having a problem with pc-nfs version 3.0 not getting
the user name correct on output. It turns out that it is really a lpr
problem.  Lpr on the suns go looking in /etc/utmp for the user name but
doesn't take into account the possible of a daemon starting the print job
so when the user isn't in /etc/utmp it puts the name of the person logged
into the console instead. If there are no etries in /etc/utmp it lets the
name gets passed from the daemon properly.  I don't have source for sunOS
so couldn't go tracking it down any further then that.
