lpd dies quietly, why?
Happens if a couple days pass without printing anything. Running a slink
system with kernel 2.0.36.
The only other untoward thing that happens with this system is that
occasionally X dies right after I switch from a VC. Apparently has to do
with the mouse, perhaps an interaction with gpm? I haven't thought to
look and see if perhaps lpd dies at the same time. (I don't print very
often, but I'd like to figure out what's going on.)
