Ugh .. that's quite wrong. That hook is there only for the initial installation procedure. At that point, you are still in single user mode. Networking daemons are not running, the portmapper is not there yet (so no NIS either) etc. As mentioned before the best thing is to create a file /etc/init.d/local and run "update-rc.d local defaults 80" to make sure it is run as one of the last things in the boot procedure. Use /etc/init.d/skeleton as an example file for /etc/init.d/local Mike. -- Indifference will certainly be the downfall of mankind, but who cares?
