What is smfpd?
After a major security threat has been discovered in Samsung Unified Linux
Driver they decided to create smfpd
, Simple MFP Daemon that runs as root and
provides access to parallel port via tcp/8822
smfpd : Simple MFP Daemon Usage : smfpd [ options ] Options : -V n : message Verbosity level n, default 0 -f : debug mode: run in foreground, log to stdout -h : show help and exit -i dev : use network device 'dev', default lo -p n : listen on port n, default 8822 -v : show version
This daemon is listens on loopback interface by default and is used for LPT devices only. If you use the USB connection then you don’t need this daemon.
