Description TAKEDA yasuma (mail address dead) 2006-03-14 04:04:48 UTC 
I find a problem about the initialization of smbd with CUPS.

If the port 631 is already used by a daemon(except cupsd), 
the smbd stops in the initialization. 

main()
 -> reload_service()
    -> reload_printers()
       -> pcap_cache_reload()
          -> cups_cache_reload()
             -> httpConnect()   
             -> cupsDoRequest()  
                  -> recv()      <--- STOP

If the port 631 is already used by another daemon,
httpConnect() succeeds.
And the recv() is executed in cupsDoRequest().
As a result, the smbd waits some responses forever.

What are you running on port 631?  The current behavior is 
by design.  I don't see any timeout mechanism in the cupsDoRequest()
call.  You will need to file an issue with the cups developers.

I disabled the cups service.
And the NFS(rpc.rquotad) used the 631 port which is assigned by portmap by chance.
It caused our problem.

I filed this issue to CUPS's bugs.

Port 631 is a "well-known port" reserved for use by IPP servers only. Your NFS(rpc.rquotad) shows "illegal" behaviour in occupying that port
