In /etc/inetd.conf, put a # char at the beginning of the line that starts: printer stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/lpd -i You are running the line printer daemon (lpd) as both daemon (continously running system program) and on an as needed basis from the inetd super-daemon. After saving the file, as root do "killall -HUP inetd". HTH, Jeffrey Quoting Robert C. Paulsen Jr. <paulsen@texas.net>:

Hi,

On a recently-installed SuSE 7.2 I am getting the following message repeated every 10 minutes exactly:

Jul 30 12:09:58 rcpaulsen inetd[613]: printer/tcp (2): bind: Address already in use Jul 30 12:19:58 rcpaulsen inetd[613]: printer/tcp (2): bind: Address already in use Jul 30 12:29:58 rcpaulsen inetd[613]: printer/tcp (2): bind: Address already in use Jul 30 12:39:58 rcpaulsen inetd[613]: printer/tcp (2): bind: Address already in use etc...

I get the messages even when I disconnect the ethernet cable, so whatever is going wrong is happening on my system.

Any ideas?
