I haven't used cups in a while, and tried to today. It fails at
startup, with error code 98:
E [24/Jul/2004:17:39:06 +1000] StartListening: Unable to bind socket for address c0a80102:631 - Address already in use.

c0a80102==192.168.1.2==the box I am trying to start cups from

That was fair enough the first time, because somehow lpr was installed
at the same time, so I stop and removed it. The error stays, and I
have done a netstat -au, and found nothing is bound to port 631. lsof
agrees with me. There is no lp* or cups* processes running.

I googled, and found that someone found a problem with nfs taking the
port randomly, so I stopped the nfs processes.

I waited 5 minutes, because I rememeber something about the kernel
sometimes keeping ports open for a little while despite the exit of
the owner process.

I partially upgraded sid - so now cups* and libcupsys are up to date.

I really can't work out why I keep getting this message.

And ideas?
