We don't have any of this. BTW, most of this is addressed to Mark. By
now he may have gotten his answer in alt.os.linux.slackware, but I'm too
far behind there to check.

"killall lpd" should stop it, either CUPS or lprng. To prevent it from
starting again, make both /etc/rc.d/rc.cups and rc.lprng non-executable.
There's a "GUI" interface to do this which can be called from pkgtool,
but hey, chmod works for me. :)

And Slackware does not adhere to that standard, thank goodness. :)

Lastly for Mark, "/etc/rc.d/rc.portmap stop" will get rid of it, and
similarly make that file non-executable to prevent it restarting.

I recommend the a.o.l.s. FAQ and www.slackware.com/book to help you get
up to speed on the Slackware way of doing things.
