[TriLUG] Securing Lpd (TCP Port 515)

[Jeff Bollinger]

Does anyone have any good recommendations on securing Lpd (Line Printer 
Daemon)?  Being paranoid as I am, I only start lpd right before I have 
to print something, then shut it off immediately after I've finished 
printing.  Is there a way to set lpd to *not* listen for connections? 
Why does it have to run as a daemon that makes connections on port 515? 
  There should be a way to print without running the daemon, or run the 
daemon in a mode where it does not open a network socket.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jeff
