Re: Security: Compromised?

First you can check what binaries listen what port. As root use command: netstat -ap or probably netstat -ap | grep LISTEN P.S. I'm not sure if switch -p works on Debian. It works on Slackware 7.0 - probably it should work on Debian. > "WL" == William Leese <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:

I've always said that a little research before a purchase will save one grief. In any case. I have a BJC 4400 (which also emulates a 600) working fine. What I did is grab pdq and xpdq. I got the debs from unstable but I'm running woody. Install them then go to www.linuxprinting.org and get the pdq
