Last week I compiled ghostscript 3.33 and Monroe Williams' StyleWriter 
driver and finally got my system to print.  Unfortunately, while doing 
so, I ran out of drive space, and even though it printed a few times, 
eventually I kept getting messages that said something to the tune of, 
"could not write...drie full."  I had quit trying to print, but I would 
get these messages even when logging off.  So, I rm'd my games and some 
other space hogs.  I also rebooted for some reason or another, and during 
the reboot, I got a core dump due to a segmentation error.  I rebooted 
again into single-user and did a disk check.  Then I rebooted into 
multi-user.  Now whenever I boot I get these messages:

starting rpc daemons:  portmapportmap: permission denied

...then a few lines down...

quotaon: permission denied

Also, shortly after I log in, either as myself (using bash) or as root 
(using csh), I get spurious messages timed at about two minute intervals 
for the first six minutes or so of the log in.  The latest set of these 
messages read:

Mar 31 12:05:41 hussar inetd[78]:pmap_set: 100001 3 17 1024: Address 
already in use
Mar 31 12:05:41 hussar inetd[78]:pmap_set: 100001 3 17 1024: Address

Mar 31 12:09:42 hussar inetd[78]:pmap_set: 100002 3 17 1025: Address 
already in use

Now I can't print, and lpd's log doesn't even show my attempts to print, 
even though it shows my abortive attempts from before I had gs and the 
stylewriter stuff set up.

I have dug through the "Red Book" and the man pages for portmap and 
pmap_set, as well as an O'Reilly book "Essential System Administration".  
I think I may be dealing with a permissions problem, but I don't know 
why.  If I do a "ls -alF" on portmap and quotaon it shows:

br-S--S---  256 768  1792   232,   0 Mar 31 11:56 portmap
br-S--S---  512 768  1792   176,   0 Jul 13 10:42 quotaon

(portmap's date is different because I "touch"'d it.)

I read through the "Red Book's" explanation of the setuid and sticky 
bits, but I really don't know if that applies here.  I have also tried to 
set the permissions on both of these files by using "chmod ug+s 
./portmap", but that didn't seem to work.

Also, as per the stylewriter set up instructions, I have a symbolic link 
from a file /dev/stylewriter to /dev/tty01, which according to the 
instructions is the print port for NetBSD.  To which user should tty01 
belong?  Mine shows an ownership of uucp wheel.  Should it be root wheel, 
or is there a reason that tty01 (and I notice now, tty00) should belong 
to uucp?

What can you all recommend?  Do I need to re-install etc12 and/or base12? 
 Is there something in my rc that could be screwed up?

Hopefully,

Sean.
