I posted the question about sndplay and nppower off in the rc.local
script.

I tried out the tips and the solution is in both cases:
put a sleep command and then the other.

(sleep 10; /usr/bin/sndplay ...) &
(sleep 10; /usr/etc/nppower off) &

I guess you have to wait until the loginwindow process is
correctly started and then al the "services" have their correct
behaviour.

sndplay and nppower start now after the loginwindow appears.
The printer is now "Private" after logging in, and that's
what I wanted.

Thanks for the tips,
