[opensuse] CUPS is doing something strange
I see this repeating in my logs every minute, sometimes more often 2017-01-08T12:50:49-05:00 2017 SYSLOG[0]: message repeated 14 times: [ [Host 192.168.2.1] UDP 192.168.2.14,631 --> 192.168.2.255,631 DENY: Inbound or outbound access request ] 2017-01-08T12:51:16-05:00 2017 SYSLOG[0]: [Host 192.168.2.1] UDP 192.168.2.14,631 --> 192.168.2.255,631 DENY: Inbound or outbound access request 192.168.2.1 is my firewall 192.168.2.14 is my host running CUPS There is no problem printing from the host. The printer is at .32 and while I see the occasional 2017-01-07T22:32:06-05:00 2017 SYSLOG[0]: [Host 192.168.2.1] UDP 192.168.2.32,138 --> 255.255.255.255,138 DENY: Inbound or outbound access request The CUPSd on .14 should be listening to other devices on the network, notably portable devices, sending print requests, but I don't see why it should be doing outbound like that. However my knowledge on CUPS internals is limited. I'm just thinking of what a (passive) server would be doing. That I can't account for it doesn't bother me so much. Its a brother laser printer, a HL5170DM, and has never given me any technical problems. This is not a showstoper of a problem, but I do wonder why there is all this network traffic and if I've possibly made a configuration error that is causing it and that the configuration error is somehow limiting or wasteful in other ways. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
