Description Garen 2002-11-29 20:09:47 UTC
My /var/log/daemon.log began filling up with error messages like this after 
installing samba:

Nov 29 18:05:03 borgy smbd[7244]:   Unable to open printcap file /etc/printcap 
for read! 
Nov 29 18:05:03 borgy smbd[7244]: [2002/11/29 18:05:03, 0]

I haven't yet resolved this problem, but I'm guessing the samba and cups 
ebuilds aren't getting consistent with some file locations...
