The /etc/sysconfig/ files (/etc/default/ under Debian and derivatives) configure the startup of services by the init system. The .conf files are typically supplied by the individual products. The files in /etc/sysconfig (/etc/default/) are typically supplied by the distribution since there is little standardization between the distros regarding init. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Public Key \ https://lists.shorewall.net/teastep.pgp.key
