I'm running 4.7, using both NIS and cups. There has now twice been a problem where printing via cups started failing because cups couldn't open UDP port 631 to talk to the cups server, and both times, when I looked, there was an sshd belonging to some random (logged-in) user claiming that port. I found a short thread in the list archives from a few months ago saying that this was normal behavior with NIS, but shouldn't it be taking higher-numbered ports? The range of ports it uses seems to be about 600-1024; if there's a way to configure those numbers, we haven't found it. Has anyone else had this problem and found a satisfactory solution? aaron
