https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=276981 Summary: CUPS - Unable to handle client address in hosts.allow Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i386 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Printing AssignedTo: jsmeix@novell.com ReportedBy: david.westfall@red-inc.us QAContact: jsmeix@novell.com I have had to remove all entries from thr hosts.all and hosts.deny in order to get cups to work. These computers are now in violation of security requirements by not having entries in hosts.allow and hosts.deny. The format I have been useing for the hosts.all has been working on all other os's (fedora, cent, redhat, gentoo) There is only a problem with cups on opensuse10.2, 10.0 is working fine . hosts.allow ALL: 127.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 ALL: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 ALL: 160.107.109.128/255.255.255.128 * * This is a copy of what I posted in the opensuse.us forum. I have received no answer to my post. * I am having a problem with my hosts .allow and cups. CUPS keeps given errors in /var/log/messages with the following hosts.allow: [1]#hosts.allow on all linux computers ALL: 127.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 ALL: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 ALL: 160.XXX.XXX.0/255.255.255.128 #XXX replaces acutral address cupsd: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 1: Unable to handle client address: unknown Repeated for each line. To test this I am using tail -f /var/log/messages and open then close the yast2 printer config. The error is "cupsd: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 1: Unable to handle client address: unknown" repeated for each line in the file. [2] Changed hosts.allow to the following: ALL: 127.0.0. ALL: 192.168.0. ALL: 160.XXX.XXX. CUPSD gives same error. [3] Changed hosts.allow to the following: ALL: 127.0.0 ALL: 192.168.0 ALL: 160.XXX.XXX CUPSD does not give any errors but takes a long time to close. Also APCUPSD and PORTMAPER start giving errors. apcupsd[4267]: Connection from 192.168.1.254 refused by tcp_wrappers. portmap[20425]: connect from 192.168.1.3 to getport(ypserv): request from unauthorized host [4] Changed hosts.allow to the following ALL: LOCAL ALL: .gig ALL: .rdte Same as [3] but only portmap giving errors. [5] If I clear both the hosts.allow and hosts.deny the printer config util exits it just a few seconds. [6]Changed the hosts.allow to a mix [1] and [4] ALL: LOCAL ALL: .gig ALL: .hspacig ALL: 127.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 ALL: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 ALL: 160.XXX.XXX.0/255.255.255.128 CUPSD gives error on lines 4,5 and 6. CUPSD is not getting a connection refuesed it says that it can not read the line. They must be correct, all other services are working fine and dont give any errors unless there is a connection from and outside source. I am useing config [1] on redhat , fedora, cent, gentoo, and opensuse and the only problem seems to be with cups on suse. Does any one know how to fix this, or are having the same problem?
