script processing order

[Duane Whitty]

Hi,

Am I correct in believing that CUPS should be running before
Samba is started?  It appears from my console messages
that Samba (nmbd and smbd) appears to be launched before CUPS (cupsd).
Samba then complains for a while that it cannot connect to the CUPS server.
I'm working on serving up my local CUPS based printer to MS-Windows XP
clients and I would like to rule this situation out as a problem.

I interpreted rc(8) to mean that scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
would be processed in lexicographical order.  Does this only
hold true for scripts in /etc/rc.d?  Do I need a BEFORE entry
in cupsd.sh such as BEFORE nmbd if I want CUPS loaded
before Samba?

Thanks in advance,

--Duane
