It would be useful if you could both follow it up with whatever information and observations you have. Just point your browser to this URL: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=5698 I have been looking into this a little, but did not really get anywhere except a slight cleanup of the lp driver (which has been merged into -current - or so I've been told; I don't run -current myself, for lack of bandwidth). Since the last of these reboots cost me the root inode on my laptop's /usr, I am somewhat disinclined to do any more testing unless I get my hands on a second scratch machine. -- fprintf(stderr, "I have a closed mind.
