"cupsd: Child exited with status 98!"

If you get the error "cupsd: Child exited with status 98!" on your linux server, it's probably because cups was not running at some point and another process grabbed port 631, thinking it was a spare random port.

Most likely it was rpc.statd, and you should be able to clear it by issuing "/etc/init.d/nfslock restart"
