- No, it's part of Impressario, the new "printing without cursing" package.
- The 4.0.5 inetd.conf contains an entry for podd (printer object database
- daemon) but you have to order Impressario to get the daemon itself. The
- SYSLOG entry is just an "FYI" and really ought to be suppressed, but SGI
- never got around to enhancing inetd.conf with syntax to express the right
- logic (you want to know about certain daemons going AWOL...).
