Probably, you compiled kernel with parallel printer support :-). Make sure you
don't run lpd from /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2 at boot time.

Each time you modify this file by hand, you should restart syslogd and/or klogd
daemons. Check man pages to be sure. If you are not interested in keeping your
system logs, add 'echo -n "">/var/adm/messages' to rc.0 (or brc) file.
