System name:		oliver.MIT.EDU
Type and version:	SGI??? 8.1.15
Display type:		UNKNOWN video

What were you trying to do?
	Play with the new toy


What went wrong?
	I found a bunch of processes running that I didn't expect:

     UID   PID  PPID  C    STIME TTY     TIME CMD
    root   544     1  0 05:40:31 ?       0:00 /usr/etc/lpd 
      lp   350     1  0 05:40:26 ?       0:00 /usr/lib/lpsched 
    root   740     1  0 05:40:51 ?       0:06 /usr/etc/appletalk/nbpd -N 
    root   742     1  0 05:40:53 ?       0:00 /usr/etc/appletalk/epd 
    root   744     1  0 05:40:54 ?       0:02 /usr/etc/appletalk/timeserver 
    root   747     1  0 05:40:56 ?       0:02 /usr/etc/appletalk/ksd -f -i mad-scientist 
    root   756   747  0 05:40:57 ?       0:02 /usr/etc/appletalk/ksd -f -i mad-scientist 
    root   757   747  0 05:40:57 ?       0:01 /usr/etc/appletalk/ksd -f -i mad-scientist 
    root   828     1  0 05:41:05 ?       0:00 /usr/etc/rpc.pcnfsd 


What should have happened?
	I'm not sure, I suspect the lp and appletalk stuff shouldn't
have been running, I'm not sure about rpc.pcnfsd, but I suspect it's
bogus too.


Yo, got any documentation, or other info?
	Nope, just causing trouble.
