just wondering if there was a tool similar to redhat's "ntsysv" for debian... ntsysv is a utility to control which services in /etc/init.d get started up. or /etc/rc.d/init.d i think it was in redhat. leon -- Leon Breedt | Developer, Obsidian Systems | Debian 2.0 | Linux 2.2.0pre6 http://www.obsidian.co.za
