Be sure to keep the Listen entry for the socket as this seems to cause the trouble with tcpd. * Add 'ALL : 192.168.64.' to /etc/hosts.allow. Well, please assume that this entry was already there because (assume again, please) tcpd is already the desired method to restrict connects. It's less tedious to maintain a single file than many different application config files. If you assumed that, /etc/hosts.allow was not changed (and working fine until now, that is). * Start cups with "rccups start" and you'll notice many errors logged as in comment #0. Now, to summarize what we have done: * Install cups, make it listen on all interfaces * hosts.allow remains _unchanged_ * restart cups and it ceases to work What _should_ happen: No errors about unknown clients only because cups listens on all interfaces instead just on localhost. In my book, this is without doubt a cups bug and the reason for this bugzilla entry. Did this comment clearify the situation? To verify, could you tell me what you're talking about? -- 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.
