I don't use diald, so I can't tell you offhand exactly what the files are called, but... Look in /etc/rc2.d/ for a file called (something like) S50diald (though the number may be different. It should be a link to /etc/init.d/diald (or similar). You can rename the link to K50diald (but keep the numeric value the same). Next time you boot, diald won't start. You can manually start it by doing '/etc/init.d/diald start' -B -- Brandon High [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Very funny, Scotty. Now beam down my clothes."
