Woa, thanks for the quick response.
Yep things are "working" just have the annoying messages (well I haven't
had a need to print at this time). When inetd checks its configuration
against what is currently running for a given port outside of inetd.
Yes, the process is really inetd. Since in the inetd.conf there is the
following entry:
printer 515/tcp spooler
printer 515/udp spooler
And the lprng.sh wants to load lpd from /usr/local/sbin. I do have
cups-lpr installed but I don't recall this issue arising from it.
I killed the lpd process and the renamed lprng.sh to something like
lprng.sh.runthisandyoudie. Now inetd doesn't complain. Of course I don't
understand what application put it there. I'm sure I checked cups and it
appears to not come from that. Renaming it is just like going in to
msconfig on Windows and telling not to do it. And since lprng.sh says
put in LPD_ENABL="NO" I would expect it to work. But nope.
Since I'm not printing at this time I'll just yank out cups and clean it
up and reinstall to get it to print to a Windows share.
