https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230730 Summary: cups: tcp_wrappers refused connection from unknown Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Printing AssignedTo: jsmeix@novell.com ReportedBy: walter.haidinger@gmx.at QAContact: jsmeix@novell.com After upgrading from 10.1 to 10.2, cups ceased to work as expected. The logs are flooded with messages like: tcp_wrappers refused connection from unknown. See /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny. Likewise, syslog shows hundreds of lines: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 92: Unable to hand le client address: unknown warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 95: Unable to hand le client address: unknown The relevant lines in /etc/hosts.allow are: 92 ALL : 192.168.64. 95 ALL : 192.168.56.0/25 Please note that cups is the only application having trouble with my tcpd config. Even tcpdchk and tcpdmatch are fine. Btw, I've set cupsd to listen on any interface 'Listen 631', otherwise tcp wrapping would not make sense anyways. The only "workaround" so far is to add to following to /etc/hosts.allow: cupsd : ALL Then just a few error messages (...refused...) are logged at cupsd startup.
