https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230730 ------- Comment #19 from opensuse@zogi.de 2007-01-23 11:13 MST ------- Hallo Klaus, I did some more tests: I started with using the files you attached and everything works fine! A. But, if you add the following to hosts.deny: ALL: ALL --> cupsd will consume all memory (1 GB), all swap (3 GB - ok I killed it when it used 2 GB swap...) --> BUG #1 B. Add any faulty entry to hosts.allow, e.g. forget a new line, behind cupsd: UNKNOWN, localhost and cupsd will end up in an endless loop, printing, e.g. "cupsd: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 62: missing newline or line too long" in /var/log/messages --> BUG #2, since it should stop after printing it once (or a few times)! C. Problem #3: I only get cups working with the following option in hosts.allow cupsd: UNKNOWN, localhost which is far too "open" in my mind for a sensitive machine directly connected to the outside world... D. Again using only cupsd: localhost which I had in SUSE 10.1 ends in the endless loop of BUG #2, this time reporting the problem in /var/log/cupsd/error_log: "tcp_wrappers refused connection from unknown. See /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny" AND in BUG #1, i.e. cupsd consuming all my memory That's it - hope you can reproduce the problem, Thanks, Andreas -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
