Everytime I update my cooker, xinetd stops working because the alternative link seems to get broken. This is the output from rpm -Fvh xinetd* xinetd ################################################## Removing manually selected alternative - switching to auto mode And then the link in /usr/sbin is broken. To correct it I have to: # ls -l /usr/sbin/xinetd* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 151580 Feb 21 03:13 /usr/sbin/xinetd-2.1.8.9pre14* # update-alternatives --install /usr/sbin/xinetd xinetd /usr/sbin/xinetd-2.1.8. 9pre14 10 # ls -l /usr/sbin/xinetd* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Feb 23 22:06 /usr/sbin/xinetd -> /etc/alternatives/xinetd* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 151580 Feb 21 03:13 /usr/sbin/xinetd-2.1.8.9pre14* Thots? b. -- Brian J.
