try changing the startup order so cups starts before ypbind, a lot of rpc services(i think ypbind is rpc??) seemingly pick a random port on startup. i just checked one of my debian potato machines that uses ypbind and it is not using 631. it is using: 751/udp 909/udp 839/tcp 836/udp nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
