I was wondering if anyone could tell me why lpd is starting on reboot when it's not specified in rc.conf or anywhere else I can find? My rc.conf file looks like this.. ############################################################## ### Miscellaneous administrative options ################### ############################################################## cron_enable="YES" # Run the periodic job daemon. lpd_enable="NO" # Run the line printer daemon. lpd_flags="" # Flags to lpd (if enabled). yet on reboot, lpd is running. I've checked rc.local, in /usr/local/etc/rc.d and it's not there either. The machine this is happening on was attacked by the qpopper exploit before I patched it, and it seems to have started around that time. In the meantime, qpopper's been upgraded and I'm using tcp wrappers and ipfw to keep out attackers, so there's no one else starting the process. If I manually kill it, it seems to be fine, but I'd still like to know why it's starting. Another thing I've noticed is that if I'm telnetted into the box from somewhere else, and I get disconnected or my connection drops the user stays logged in even though I try to kill the process. Nothing shows when doing ps aux | grep user for the user who's supposedly still logged in. Looking at the processes however shows telnetd still running for that user and killing it doesn't log the user out either. Any help or explanation would be appreciated. Thanks.
