A manpage does not always include specific info about how things are set up in Debian, unfortunately. (You can file a wishlist bug asking the package maintainer to include a brief statement about where to find the configuration files.) In such cases it often helps to look for all system files with a suspicious name; so you would try dpkg -S bootlogd Then you can have a look at the files which are reported. This command will also tell you which package contains bootlogd, so you can run dpkg -L initscripts to find out where other important information might be. (Often it is in the /usr/share/doc/packagename directory.) -- Regards, Florian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
