Guys,
Cups has been working like clockwork for the past year - up until the last 2
kernel updates. Now after boot, a manual '/etc/rc.d/cupsd restart' is required
to get it working again. Would moving it in the DAEMONS line make sense?
Currently I have:
DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng network named @netfs @ntpd @sshd @dhcp4 @crond
@mysqld @postfix @dovecot @httpd @samba @cups @vsftpd @sensors @spamd)
When cups fails to start, I get the following warnings and errors:

I have no idea what the Bad File number errors are, but the warnings are just
from the multiple explicit listen designations in the cupsd.conf for client access:
# Only listen for connections from the local machine.
Listen localhost:631
Listen phoenix.rlfpllc.com:631
Listen phoenix:631
Listen www.rlfpllc.com:631
Listen 192.168.7.15:631
I think the real issue is the 'Address already in use' errors, but that
doesn't explain why it cups starts just fine with a manual '/etc/rc.d/cupsd
restart'. If the address/port was actually already taken, then I would expect
the restart to fail as well. The the ACL error is fine - cups isn't using acls
on my box and I don't want to set the acl mount option in fstab, so I can live
with that error.
I've been through the forums, google and bug tracker task/22895, but still no
solution. Should I move cupsd earlier in the DAEMONS line? Anybody else seeing
cups fail to start on boot, but starting fine on a manual restart? Thanks for
any thoughts or help you can give.
