Actually, after looking a little closer at that error message, I wonder if you have some file or directory which is defined at /var/run/printer. When 'lpd' starts up, there should be nothing at that pathname (lpd will create a socket there). Might it be that you have installed some other port, and that has it's own plans for /var/run/printer? -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
