Have you ever looked into /var/lib/dpkg/info/cupsys.postinst? If /etc/init.d/cupsys is executable update-rc.d is run and the cupsd is started. Is it appropriate to remove the x bit of /etc/init.d/cupsys? Thanks Markus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
