Then do so and STFU.
Wow, I don't what STFU means, but I'm afraid to guess. Why are you so aggressive, all at once? I don't think I was trying to belittle your answer. I was only explaining I hope I protected my little network enough. Broadcasting was very useful for me when my server was running OpenSUSE 10.1 (ans 10.0, IIRC), so I was naturally trying to reproduce that setting. You think it's a mistake because of the risk of external connections, but that risk doesn't exist here. If there are other dangers, I'm willing to listen.
Don't come looking for answers and jump down the throat of someone trying to help.
If you got the impression that I "jumped down your throast", I apologise. I certainly didn't intend to do that. Remember, I was asking for documentation on the "Remot access settings" option in YaST2, to understand what it did and didn't do, relating to broadcast among other things.
I have never encountered the need to turn on broadcasting in cups. It solves nothing.
It's a convenience when there is no risk of external connections, that's all. Sorry for having tried to explain my point of view, and sorry if I sounded harsch. Regards, -- Thibaut Cousin http://www.thibaut-cousin.net
