Thanks, I have purged the samba just now. Haha ... Best regards, P.S I also found tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:538 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 631 is for network printer, I am confused why it need LISTEN here, I only print once or twice each month. What 538 is for? I googled, but I don't have gdomap installed, strange? Thanks again, > > -- > Stan > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
