Subject: _validuser in lpd.c of FreeBSD for Ultrix, source ??

I've ported the lpr subsystem of FreeBSD to Ultrix, but when
compiling, I have one unresolved function, _validuser.  Where can I
find this function in the source tree ?? It checks hosts.equiv and
hosts.lpd to see if a host is valid.  It is most likely in libc or
libutil, but if anyone knows where for sure, it would save me
some hacking/searching.

Also, if you know where I can find BSD lpr already ported to Ultrix, I'd
appreciate a pointer, I know someone had done it a few months ago. 

Thanks,

Jim Boyle
