[TriLUG] Port 631

[Byarlay, Wayne A.]

Could anybody tell me why a RH9 machine is constantly attempting to
contact our other RH9 machine with CUPS on it?

yes, the non-CUPS server is hammering away on the CUPS one (or trying
to, not getting through firewall) through port 631 (which is IPP).

Perhaps some old print job that just can't escape or something?? If so
where would I look to delete it?

a technique like described below certainly works. there are many ways to
get to the source to see what characters are there. the problem, though,
is that the cid: entry is followed by a whole bunch of ascii characters
that evidently mean more than just their random human readable letters.
they don't look like hex. i don't know what they are.

ideas, anyone?
