This site ID goes into an extra file: +``/etc/standardskriver.site``. This file is optional. The first line is +read from this file, gets sanitized and the outcome is the site ID. + +In ``/etc/standardskriver.cfg you can then put sections like: + + [machine.SCHOOL-01] + # special rules for SCHOOL-01 + 10.1.2.3 = school-01-admin-printer + + [machine.SCHOOL-02] + 10.3.6.3 = school-02-admin-printer + + 10.0.0.0/8 = main-printer + +The same configuration scheme is possible for POSIX groups: + + [groups.SCHOOL-01] + teachers = school-01-teacher-printer + + [groups.SCHOOL-02] + teachers = school-02-teacher-printer + + [groups] + students = students-printer + + ## License and Copyright The Standard Skriver Tool is licensed under the GPL-2+ license. |
