Package: cupsys-bsd
Version: 1.2.1-2

I know this is a strange combination but I have encountered
a situation which invalidates what paragraph "10.4 Domain
Name Service (DNS)" of the Debian reference says. This is
important, because it influences the way Debian installer
works:

After installation, I had on my /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 paag

I'm migrating from a UNIX platform and in my company, the
LPD servers have access lists in order to make sure that
registered users on registered machines get access to the
printers. Being a registered user, I installed CUPS and
the LPD backend.

My printing jobs got rejected, because the LPD backend
sent 'localhost' as originating client to the LPD server.
The user name was correct, but since the ACL only allowed
print jobs from "paag@paag", my printing jobs where discarded.

The answer to the problem has been to rewrite my /etc/hosts
so that it reads:

127.0.0.1 paag localhost

in the first line. And BTW, this is the only way I can print.
