I run Mac OS X 10.3.9 Server. I have printers which I have shared on the network using Server Admin Print Server tool. Everything was working fine until the past few days. Clicking on START in the Server Admin does not start the print server. I tried starting it from the command line and even that does not work.
Here is what I get in the command line:-
{machinename}:/etc {username}$ sudo serveradmin start print
print:command = 'setState'
print:state = 'STOPPED'
print:status = 0
{machinename}:/etc {username}$
This is what is there in the Server Admin's Watchdog event log:-
2006-06-05 16:17:49 EDT Started child '/usr/sbin/PasswordService' as pid 268.
2006-06-05 16:17:49 EDT Started child '/usr/sbin/PrintServiceMonitor'

respawning too rapidly!
If anyone know what is happening, please enlighten me. I am guessing it is due to the security update I installed recently.
Please advise.
Thanks,
