LPR:CFile Symlink Overflow
This protocol anomaly detects an LPR control file with a sub-command symbolic link name length that exceeds the user-defined maximum. A symbolic link is a file that points to another file (entry) in a UNIX file system, but does not contain the data in the target file. When the LPR protocol receives a symbolic link command in a control file, it records the symbolic link data for the print job filename to prevent directory entry changes from reprinting the file. The default symbolic link name length is 128; you can change this setting in the Sensor Settings Rulebase>Protocol Thresholds and Configuration>LPR>Symbolic link length.
