When logged in as one user I get the following error if I do the command "lpstat" and not all the printers are displayed:

"/usr/lib/lpd/bsdshort[64]: /usr/bin/awk: arg list too long"

But logged in as different user it works OK and all printers are displayed.

What could be different about the user that works??

AIX 4.3.3.9

Do both users use the same shell? Do they both have the same ulimit value? I'm just guessing here.

i have checked the /etc/security/limits file and there are minor differences. I have changed the numbers for a user that will not execute lpstat to the values for one that will and it still does not work.

It has to be a setting somewhere???

Guess maybe the PATH used in user profile? Is there any different between the 2 users?

the paths are exactly the same
