The following top-level directives are understood by

+<b>cupsd</b>(8):
<dl class="man">
<dt><a name="AccessLogLevel"></a><b>AccessLogLevel config</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><dt><b>AccessLogLevel actions</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><dt><b>HostNameLookups Double</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies whether to do reverse lookups on connecting clients.
The "Double" setting causes
-<a href="man-cupsd.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>cupsd</b>(8)</a>
+<b>cupsd</b>(8)
to verify that the hostname resolved from the address matches one of the addresses returned for that hostname.
Double lookups also prevent clients with unregistered addresses from connecting to your server.
The default is "Off" to avoid the potential server performance problems with hostname lookups.
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies the length of time to wait before shutting down due to inactivity.
The default is "60" seconds.
Note: Only applicable when
-<a href="man-cupsd.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>cupsd</b>(8)</a>

is run on-demand (e.g., with <b>-l</b>).

<h2 class="title"><a name="NOTES">Notes</a></h2>
File, directory, and user configuration directives that used to be allowed in the <b>cupsd.conf</b> file are now stored in the
-<a href="man-cups-files.conf.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>cups-files.conf</b>(5)</a>
+<b>cups-files.conf</b>(5)
file instead in order to prevent certain types of privilege escalation attacks.
<p>The scheduler MUST be restarted manually after making changes to the <b>cupsd.conf</b> file.
On Linux this is typically done using the
command, while on macOS the
<b>launchctl</b>(8)
command is used instead.
+<p>The @LOCAL macro name can be confusing since the system running
+<b>cupsd</b>
+often belongs to a different set of subnets from its clients.
<h2 class="title"><a name="CONFORMING_TO">Conforming To</a></h2>
The <b>cupsd.conf</b> file format is based on the Apache HTTP Server configuration file format.
