[OT] lprng bad config
This is not sparc-specific, but this is the only debian-mailinglist
I read.
Does anyone know why in lprng uses ports 512-1023 per default?
In /etc/lprng/lpd.conf it reads:
# default originate_port=512 1023 (STRING)
Whereas man lpd.conf states:
"Note that RFC1179 specifies that requests
must originate from ports in the range 721-731."
Was this deliberately changed? Its not a good idea, and it stopped
our printer dead because of firewalling.
