My original question:
>I want to print quueue using TCP/IP (telnet) printing. The System
Administration manual says that I need to issue a rcinet restart command to
restart Internet network services after I setup the /etc/services file (and
/etc/printcap). Will this command kill all the telnet sessions to the
machine? Can I issue this command when there are users logged into the
system via telnet or will this command abruptly end their sessions?

The consensus was that it would end all sessions. However, you can
instruct inetd to re-read the configuration file using kill -HUP pid or
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`
without interrupting the telnet sessions.
