Are you sure it is lprng making these connections and not some other program? Alternatively if it is lprng making these connections check something is not driving it to do that. samba for example can do it and so can something that is doing repeated lpstat or lpq commands. BTW, Debian has lprng 3.8.20 but it is stuck in unstable until I get some major bug sorted out. It's not lprng's fault and if you get it installed then you don't have the bug :) > Sep 6 16:20:29 sanders in.lpd[20166]: [ID 927837 mail.info] connect from system.org So sanders is the Solaris print server and system.org is you? - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.enc.com.au/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
