Does anyone know if there is someway to configure LPRng to only accept a certain number of LPD requests? I had a problem a few weeks ago with GNOME print manager on a linux workstation opening 500 ports per minute (one for each printer) and it eventually used up all of swap on the server! I have put into place a port timeout on the server, but I think I am still vulnerable in that there is no limit to the number of ports than can be opened.
I now ran into another problem with a couple of windows boxes opening up a number of ports for non-existent printers, and am sensing that this is yet another example of a potential problem with idle LPD print ports. Or is there something else I should be considering??? Thanks for any advice!
