Server controller /etc/hosts table are authorized to submit LP requests. Answer “y” for yes to disable this printing option. If you are using the legacy Xerox print command line client (the software is not distributed with this release), you will need to use the remote shell internet service to transfer files to the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller.
Default Profile. Specifying a profile as default does not enable the profile, but indicates that it will be the profile setting across Xerox FreeFlow Print Server upgrades. By clicking the Restore Default Profile, the Default profile can be selected as the Current profile (this operation will take several minutes to complete).
User accounts are organized into groups. Each user account is a member of only one group. The Xerox FreeFlow Print Server provides three default user groups: Users, Operators, and System Administrators. It also supplies four default user accounts: User, Operator, SA and CSE.
Operations(Acc ept Jobs, Release Jobs, …etc) The Xerox FreeFlow Print Server user interface enables the Administrator to manage accounts easily by selecting [Setup], [Users & Groups], and the [Users] tab. When the administrator selects the Users tab, a pop-up window...

If auto-logon is disabled, a user will be forced to log in again before the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server UI is displayed. When the system is installed, the Change System Password dialog box appears and prompts users to establish all System Default Accounts with new passwords.
NOTE: The strong password requirements cannot be modified. A strong password cannot be set for root or any other Solaris user accounts that are not created by the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server. NOTE: Remote Network Server: If running NIS+ name service, strong passwords would be enforced via the NIS + server.
