[Cialug] Testing CUPS

Ran into a problem upgrading the workgroup server here - after the
upgrade from 12.3 -> 13.1 cupsd does not respond at all! Yast returns a
"CUPS daemon not accessible", and remote systems get a "Bad Request" when
trying to accessthe web page.

/var/log/cups/error_log shows an invalid host:

 cupsdAcceptClient: 12 from 10.0.0.1:631 (IPv4)
 Connection from 10.0.0.1 now encrypted.
 cupsdAcceptClient: 13 from 10.0.0.1:631 (IPv4)
 Connection from 10.0.0.1 now encrypted.
 cupsdReadClient: 13 GET / HTTP/1.1
 cupsdSetBusyState: newbusy="Active clients and dirty files", busy="Dirty files"
 cupsdAuthorize: No authentication data provided.
 Request from "10.0.0.1" using invalid Host: field "marvel.omnitec.net:631"
 cupsdReadClient: 13 Closing because Keep-Alive disabled

Just for giggles, I added variations to cupsd.conf:

ServerName marvel.omnitec.net
ServerAlias 10.0.0.254

alternatively:

ServerName marvel.omnitec.net:631
ServerAlias 10.0.0.254:631

No change. Has something changed recently in the cups system/security? Any
pointers would be appreciated!

	Happy Holidays!
