This will probably work for the portmap script too. That seems so
adhoc though.

It seems to be still in the netbase package. I can't find a separate
portmap package. Hmmm. Maybe I misunderstood you. Yeah, there are
different scripts that separate the networking stuff, but the
portmap binary still comes packaged in the netbase deb.

I'll take a look at the portmap script. I thought that the links in
the rc*.d directories ran the scripts in /etc/init.d at different
run-levels and that renaming one would stop that script from
executing. Right? Wrong?

thanks
