Hi all,
I have checked the open ports in my system and I have noted the following strange thing about port 631:
orodruin:~ # netstat -npa|grep 631 tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1159/cupsd tcp 0 0 :::631 :::* LISTEN 1/init udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:631 0.0.0.0:* 1/init
so it seems that for IPv4 TCP cups is listening on localhost but what about IPv6 or TCP? Why does port 631 belong to init? and how can I restrict it to listen only on localhost?
Best, Andrea
