lpd restart problem, help if u can...
 

I have run into a problem with the lpd restart command...

After adding a new printer to the hosts & printcap file, done checkpc -f followed by the /sbin/service lpd restart all printing stops working,

so far the only solution is to do a soft restart of the machine
PS distro is 9.0 kernel 2, reasonably up-to-date with updates

this has only started happening recently, the last week or so, before then this procedure work without fail

helps if u can, thanks...

(not sure if this belongs to Redhat or Fedora so have posted in both of them)

fixed it...

for some reason setting the ulimit to unlimited caused this problem, changed it to be an actual figure resolved it...

go figure
