It's not a bad solution, but on fully-loaded systems, the number of chkconfig options might get a little out of hand. In other news, the maintainer of netbase is against removing the netbase dependency on netkit-inetd, but I can't really seem to tell why. I've looked at his posts on debian-devel and in the BTS, but I haven't found a good justification for the dependency yet. If anyone does know Anthony's reasons, I'd like to hear them. -- Ted Cabeen http://www.pobox.com/~secabeen secabeen@pobox.com Check Website or Keyserver for PGP/GPG Key BA0349D2 secabeen@uchicago.edu "I have taken all knowledge to be my province." -F.
