 on a media server, no bprd and bpcd is by default launched by
inetd. you should have something like this:

fx@diane [249]# netstat -a | grep bpcd
*.bpcd               *.*                0      0     0      0 LISTEN

 but "bpps -a" should show the MM daemons (ltid / vmd / tldd / tldcd).

 what you describes is normal behaviour.
