Discussion

Excessive permissions on the hosts.lpd (or equivalent) file may permit unauthorized modification. Unauthorized modifications could disrupt access to local printers from authorized remote hosts or permit unauthorized remote access to local printers.

Check Content

Check the permissions of the /etc/hosts.lpd (or equivalent) file.
# find /etc -name hosts.lpd -print
# find /etc -name Systems –print
# find /etc -name printers.conf -print  

# ls -lL <print service file>

If the permissions include a '+', the file has an extended ACL. If the file has an extended ACL and it has not been documented with the IAO, this is a finding.
