Tonight I was changing my cupsd.conf so that I could access my printer from another machine on the local network. During that exercise, I made a few errors, which resulted in cupsd writing those errors to syslog, which is all fine, and the way I like it. However; those messages wer _also_ printed on _al_l terminals (xterms) I had active on the machine cupsd is running on. No, we are not just talking about the one xterm which I am using as a root shell on this machine, but _all_ xterm's, no matter what they were doing. Urgh - bad decision, very bad. Here is the messages in /var/log/messages: Jul 26 03:53:15 kg-v2 cupsd: Unable to read configuration file '/usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf' - exiting! Jul 26 03:53:53 kg-v2 cupsd: Unable to read configuration file '/usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf' - exiting!

Message from syslogd@kg-v2 at Jul 26 03:54:49 ... kg-v2 last message repeated 2 times I haven't seen this problem before, and I have used cups and hplip since hplip was fiurst ported to FreeBSd. I do not know if the fault lies with HPLIP ( I suspect the systray app, but I have no evidence) Nor do I know if this is just a fault in the program itself, or if it is because of the porting to FreeBSD (most likely it hasn't anything to do with it).
