    <h1 class="SECT1"><a name="ALLOWUSERSETTING" id=
    "ALLOWUSERSETTING">5.9. User Identification</a></h1>

    <p>Options used:</p>

    <ul>
      <li>
        <p><tt class="LITERAL">allow_user_setting=</tt><span class=
        "emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">privileged
        users</i></span></p>
      </li>
    </ul>

    <p>When an client program sends a command to the <b class=
    "APPLICATION">lpd</b> server it may need to provide the name of
    the user who is originating the request for service. This name
    is obtained by looking up the UID of the user running the
    client in the appropriate user information database; if the
    information is not found the UID is used instead. Also, the
    client machine hostname may also be needed. This is usually
    determined by using a DNS lookup and trying to determine if
    there is a canonical or Fully Qualified Domain Name for the
    host and using this.</p>

    <p>The <tt class="COMMAND">lpr -U name@host</tt> (and for
    <b class="APPLICATION">lpq</b>, <b class=
    "APPLICATION">lprm</b>, and <b class="APPLICATION">lpc</b>)
    option allows privileged users to cause the client software to
    use the <tt class="LITERAL">name</tt> value as the originator
    and <tt class="LITERAL">host</tt> as the machine name. This
    allows privileged users to <span class="emphasis"><i class=
    "EMPHASIS">impersonate</i></span> other users. This is most
    useful for programs such as Samba and PCNFS, which need to act
    as proxies for users.</p>

    <p>By default, ROOT (UID 0) is the only user that can
    masquerade as another user. The <tt class=
    "LITERAL">allow_user_setting=name,name...</tt> configuration
    option can be used to specify a list of names or UIDs that can
    also perform masquerading. For example, if the Samba server was
    running as user <tt class="LITERAL">samba</tt>, then <tt class=
    "LITERAL">allow_user_setting=samba</tt> would allow it to
    specify the name of print job originator as a remote user, and
    the remote user would not need a login account on the
    system.</p>
