bsd-gw is the name which the in.lpd daemon uses when logging info. The messages means something connected to the print port on this system (tcp port 515) and then disconnected.

Is this system a print server, if not then you can comment
out the "printer" line in the inetd.conf file and then HUP 1 (restart) the inetd.conf process.

If you use the google search engine and search for bsd-gw errors you will see a lot of entries and possible solutions.
