I am trying to configure lpd in xinetd.
I am trying to run lpd from xinetd in Redhat 8.0.
When I manually launch lpd from command line and send a
print job, it works fine (confirming that printer setup and
lpd are working).
When I shut down lpd and activate lpd entry in xinetd.conf
I get error on print:
> sending job 'user@host+NNN' to printer@localhost
> connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1
> cannot open connection to localhost - Connection refused
xinetd.conf entry is:
service lp
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/lpd
nice = 10
instances = 10
}
I have made the following entries in /etc/services:
lp 515/tcp
lp 515/udp
After restart of xinetd, netstat and nmap show port 515 is listening:
# netstat -tap
tcp 0 0 *:printer *.* LISTEN 1074/xinetd
#nmap localhost
515/tcp open printer
I have tried setting access control in xinetd.conf to
allow_from 0.0.0.0 - just to make sure that the problem isn't
caused by an IP restriction.
Other xinetd services (like ftp and sshd) work fine.
I can't think of anything else to try, nor can I think of special
logging I might do to help identify the problem. None of
the current logs /var/log/messages are giving any additional
info to help.
Thanks in advance,
Jay
