Thanks, that's a good point. CUPS does have a UNIX socket that it listens on, and it probably would be better to use that instead of the IP address; if nothing else, Unix sockets have less overhead. Reopening this bug then, and updating the summary to reflect this. ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Low => Wishlist Status: Invalid => Confirmed ** Summary changed: - SMBD hangs on startup if lo is down + SMBD should use /var/run/cups/cups.sock to talk to cups -- SMBD should use /var/run/cups/cups.sock to talk to cups https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
