The GUI login is provided by xdm/gdm/kdm/wdm/etc. Most likely one of the first three. Do an "ls /etc/rc5.d" and you should see a symlink called S99xdm or something like that. That instructs the system to run that script when switching to runlevel 5. The order that scripts are executed in is specified by the number after the S. It is sufficient to just blow away the S99?dm links from /etc/rc?.d, but the "proper" way to do things is to use the update-rc.d script. Something like "update-rc.d -f xdm remove" should completely remove it from every runlevel. Or you could just "apt-get remove xdm" if you don't want it on your system at all. -- Hubert Chan <hubert@uhoreg.ca> - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
