cups netstat output

English Network/Internet

Hi,

I ran a netstat command right after reboot and this is what I saw. Can anyone tell me what is going here with port 52682?

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2618/cupsd
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:52682 127.0.0.1:631 TIME_WAIT -
tcp 0 0 ::1:631 :::* LISTEN 2618/cupsd

Thanks

It is a bit difficult to say since the process which communicated with cups is no longer there. As far as I remember TIME_WAIT means socket is already closed and now waits for some further time for packets which were not yet received. I hope someone can explain it better.
Maybe you printed something and that was the communication from your program with CUPS?

Same thing shows up on a new reboot but with a different port. Have not been printing anything

I am not a CUPS expert but if I were you I would check
/var/log/cups/access_log to see what tries to access CUPS, if it is
important for you to know. Do you suspect that your system is compromised?

Hi,

Please use CODE tags instead of PHP tags for such output as it will be easier to read :slight_smile:

As to your original question I’ve got no idea what is the socket you’re asking about for.

Best regards,
Greg
