/etc/init.d

hi,
I used to have a Slackware system using kernel 2.0.29, which seemed to have
quite some problems with its internal sound subsystem. This is why I bought the
commercial OSS drivers (4Front), which work well.
When I used Slackware, all I had to do to make the sounddriver load at boot time
was to insert a call into one of the startup scripts - now that I am using
Debian, I don't really know how to do this - I understand that it requires a
script of a specific format, one that can cope with start/stop parameters, etc.
The sounddriver I am using is a module, loaded with a supplied script - where
can I find instructions on how to write such a startup script, or is there a
generic one - also, is there information available on where I had best place it?
I have one more "problem":
after upgrading bash, etc. to the latest hamm version, root used to log in
automatically on bootup. I removed the responsible entry from /etc/inittab.
The problem I encounter now is, that the root login does no longer require a
password, even though it is set. - "su" still requires it.
What causes this behaviour?
