Remove the symlink in /etc/rc2.d/ that points to cannaserver. The /etc/rc* directories contain symlinks pointing to the services called on startup, and also symlinks to kill those same services on shutdown. Generally the scripts are good enough to fail silently if the program is not actually installed, but apparently this one isn't. Steve -- The opossum is a very sophisticated animal.
