Maybe it tried, but the config for samba disappeared.  I don't know why
it didn't restart cups though.

No, it was just a security upgrade.

Hard to tell.  Very different from linux.  I try to learn FreeBSD since
it seems interesting, but I'm meeting many problems that I don't get in

have been w/o issue.
