Some services can be started/stopped with "service <srv_name> <start|stop>". Others, you have to edit the control files in /etc/xinetd.d and reload xinetd with "service xinetc reload". > I want to install some rpm's but i don't know where i should get them from. > Is it common practice to install rpm's from the cd or do people tend to > download them from a website? Can they be installed directly from a remote > site? I am familiar with freebsd and I usually install remotely. Both. I usually install from CD and then use up2date to make sure I'm running on the latest version. Cheers, -- Javier Gostling Ingeniero de Sistemas Virtualia S.A.
