If you turn off xfs, you probably won't be able to run X correctly (That's your X Font Server) You can check for the exisitance of NFS running by looking in /etc/rc.d/rcx.d (Where x is your default run level) Look for something like S##NFS. You can shut it down manually if it is running by doing a /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs stop Good luck -Aaron You can also try "Bruce E.
