After a long period of no printing activity, lpd simply dies. I spoke with my sys-admin at work where we also use FreeBSD, and it seems that this problem happens there also. He said that he also had this problems with Sun computers when we used to use them. It is easy to fix - simply restart lpd. But it is a bit of a bother. Does anyone know anything about this? -- Stephen Montgomery-Smith stephen@math.missouri.edu http://www.math.missouri.edu/~stephen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
