Can you tell me >how to do it? What should I type to stop and restart services like httpd, >smbd, etc. To do it from the command line, cd to /etc/rc.d/init.d where you'll find a bunch of shell scripts called http, smb, network and so on. To stop the httpd, for example, use " ./httpd stop". To start it do "./httpd start" and to just reload it after a config change do "./httpd restart". ( Of course you can use "/etc/rc.d/init/d/httpd restart" from anywhere in the system). hih nick@nexnix
