Thank you for your feedback. The next version of the System Administration Primer will be taking a different approach to documenting print-related issues in preparation for a more in-depth treatment in a later edition. Because of this change, the issue you raise is not directly relevent for the upcoming edition. Therefore, I am closing your report with a "deferred" status, to reflect the necessity to keep the issue you raise in mind when work on this chapter continues. |
Description of problem: Suggestion for documentation improvement in: The Official Red Hat Linux System Administration Primer - Printers and Printing - Printer Sharing and Access Control It is said that RedHat printing systems listens on port 631. For a remote linux printer, the "lpd" (LPRng) listens on port 515. It would be useful to say that by adding in the file /etc/sysconfig/ipchains the line: -A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 515 -p tcp -y -j ACCEPT port 515 is unblocked throught the firewall (if installed). I mention this because RedHat 7.3 and lower don't have the application redhat-config-securitylevel, and gnome-lokkit does not allow to open extra ports, which adds a stupid burden on setting up a remote printer. Thank you for the documentation. In general it is very usefull for intermediate users as myself.
