Hello Patrick, I have received this bug report for lprng 3.8.28. The fact that kernel changes make it work is strange. I have asked for a debug on the network -D network output and see if he can do a strace too.
The bug report is also at http://bugs.debian.org/291934 ----- Forwarded message from Tom Henderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Any remote print jobs coming in seem to make the lpd spooler just hang. Typing 'lpc lpq <printername>' will hang until I kill it This hanging on lpc commands starts just a few minutes after print jobs start coming in. If enough come in before the lpc command hangs, lpc will show the jobs as 'incoming'. The complete job will be received -- verified with ethereal -- and can be seen in a file named 'tempxxxx' in the printer spool directory, but never gets turned into a data file with the dfA* naming convention, and the remote system evidently never gets a success code returned, because it sends the same job again. To top it all off, this happens on kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686-smp or kernel-image-2.6.3-1-686-smp, but everything works just fine on kernel-image-2.4.25-1-686-smp. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.25-1-686-smp Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages lprng depends on: ii debconf 1.4.30.11 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcomerr2 1.35-6 The Common Error Description libra ii libkrb53 1.3.6-1 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7e-2 SSL shared libraries -- debconf information: * lprng/setuid_tools: true * lprng/start_lpd: true lprng/twolpd_perms: lprng/twolpd_conf: ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Craig Small GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.enc.com.au/ MIEE Debian developer csmall at : enc.com.au ieee.org debian.org ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRng MAILING LIST The address you post from or your Reply-To address 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.
