just to add on (<aol>me too!</aol>), my second step (up2date) on RHL servers is typically to chkconfig --list then "chkconfig <service> off" anything I know I don't need in any runlevel, at least not automatically started. I kinda wish chkconfig was avail on Debian, even though update-rc.d exists, because the scripts have embedded start/stop levels and the tool understands them. update-rc.d defaults to 20 for everything, and I'd really not have to remember init dependencies on my own :) -- James Manning <http://www.sublogic.com/james/> GPG Key fingerprint = B913 2FBD 14A9 CE18 B2B7 9C8E A0BF B026 EEBB F6E4 -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
