I have the firewall turned on my CentOS 5 box, but GRC is reporting that 631 is closed instead of stealthed. If the firewall isn't configured to allow that, then why might that be happening?
The cups service opens port 631, regardless of your firewall settings. It then manually accepts or rejects connections.
Yes but the firewall does affect whether packets can reach the cups service or not.
Huh, they finally removed the commands in the cups initscript that punched a hole in the firewall. Never mind then.
