If I install a package like, say, samba, it will set itself up to run in runlevels 2-5. If I decide that I want runlevel 2 to be "no network", then what is the recommended Debian way to enforce this? If I just remove the symlink /etc/rc2.d/S20samba, will it reappear the next time I upgrade samba? Will it reappear if I remove samba and then reinstall it? I'm hoping that either there is another mechanism for defining runlevels than just deleting symlinks, or that deleted symlinks won't reappear on upgrades. They probably should reappear after a removal/reinstall of the package, I suppose. Craig
