I have been using policy-rc.d in chroots seemlingly forever and they definitely work there. They definitely prevent package upgrades from starting daemons. invoke-rc.d: policy-rc.d denied execution of restart. But that is through dpkg and postinst scripts. When I set up a test VM system and booted it I was shocked to find that it didn't work. Just like you found the daemons were still started at boot time. Starting Postfix Mail Transport Agent: postfix. Am I completely misunderstanding the documentation on this? Maybe. If so then I am sorry for misleading you along with me. I am researching the problem. I think this is completely against the documented interface. Bob
