I agree, maybe what we should do is change lpd_flags to -p or -s or what
ever for 4.5-RELEASE (it's too late for 4.4 IMO).  That would be better
for over all security, but wouldn't change lpd's options, just what we
pass to it by default.  Then for 5.0 we fix lpd to have the sane default
and require a new flag to bind a port.
