Package: cupsys Version: 1.2.7-1 Severity: minor The cupsd server listens on *:631 (udp). I did some research, and this seems to be related to the 'Browsing' keyword. It also seems to be useful in some cases, like protected intranets, so I'm not necessarily requesting for it to be turned off.
I would like to have a warning message about it, though; some daemons have an informational message during installation that tells the user about listening ports. This particular computer I'm doing a test installation of the upcoming Etch release on, is directly connected to the internet, and I'd rather know about this open port and turn it off. In the same time, this warning message could also tell how to stop cupsd from listening on that udp port by setting 'Browsing' to 'Off'. Please consider adding such a warning, so people are better informed about the risks and benefits, and what to do to change cupsd behaviour.
