The Box Jellyfish no doubt, nasty piece of work. You need lpd_port=0 if you want to disable incoming tcpip connections, which would be more likely on a "client machine" than a "server machine" eg: pc1(lpd client)-->unix-->pc1(lpd server)-->tcpip--.. ..-->pc2(lpd server)-->printer You dont want anyone to telnet to port 515 on pc1. There's no reason to have 515 open on pc1. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.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.
