SUMMARY: SuSE 8.2 lpd TCP Wrapper problem



Thanks to everyone that replied...

Still don't have a much of an idea why this is occurring but found a
workaround on Google.

1. Have removed the 'DENY' statement from my /etc/hosts.deny which now reads:

ALL: ALL@ALL, PARANOID

2. The following hosts.allow statement permits me to print:

lpd : LOCALHOST UNKNOWN : ALLOW

I'm pretty certain that the only thing that counts there, other than 'lpd', is
the 'UNKNOWN' string.

Bottom line is that the print request is received from an 'unknown' source and
there isn't much hosts.allow wiggle room. If it's a bug, perhaps it'll be
addressed in a later release.

Thanks, all.
