If you're using LILO in graphical boot mode, select "Linux failsafe". At the prompt, select standalone/maintenance (this is from memory, I can't really check now! :^)), and at the prompt, type "chkconfig portmap off". Then, type init 5 (or whatever your default runlevel is) and the system should boot as normal. Note, you might also have to "chkconfig off" processes associated with portmap that will now be dying because portmap isn't running, i.e., nfs, nis(yp), etc. If you're using LILO in text boot mode, type "linux 1" at the LILO: prompt. Once you've got a "#", proceed with using chkconfig to turn off unwanted services. Look in /etc/rcX.d (X=your default runlevel) for files starting with Sxx, then using the chkconfig command in the format above, use only the word after Sxx. -- Mitch Thompson, San Antonio TX Key fingerprint = BBDA 3A2A 4483 BD0D 7CED B8A9 D183 C8F6 B0AF 66AE -- Steve Balmer, CEO of Microsoft®, recently referred to Linux as a cancer. Unsuprisingly, this is incorrect - Linux was released on August 25th, 1991, and is therefore a virgo.
