rlpdaemon

[Stefano_65]

Hi everybody, I've a big question about rlpdaemon.

My server (11.23) have 4 procsses rlpdaemon -i, using 1 cpu each.. and the system goes to 100% cpu util..

anyone can help me?

Anything in /var/adm/lp/lpd.log ?

Host name for your address () unknown

er... what about?

[Stephen Keane]

Can you determine how your rlpdamon(s) were started. Look in /etc/inetd.conf and see if there is an entry for rlpdaemon like

printer stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/rlpdaemon rlpdaemon -i

(the -i is important)

also look in /etc/services for a line like

printer 515/tcp spooler

or, in /etc/inittab (unusual)

Had exactly the same problem. As the server didn't need to print requests from other servers I commented out the "printer" entry in inetd.conf:

printer stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/rlpdaemon rlpdaemon -i

Then killed the rlpdaemon -i processes and executed inetd -C to read the new inetd.conf.

Worked allright.
