I have printersharing off.
Yet
'sudo lsof -i'
returns (among other things):
cupsd 322 root TCP localhost:ipp (LISTEN)
cupsd 322 root UDP *:ipp
So: cupsd is listening on the ipp-port (that's 631)
sure enough, I can connect :
http://127.0.0.1:631
But only from my own machine....(which eases my mind a little)
Questions:
- Why is cupsd listening even if I have printersharing off ?
- How/Where is it controlled that only localhost can connect?
(It's not my firewall, can't find cupsd in xinetd or inetd.conf)
Thanks !
Maarten
