I'm not sure but it sounds like the service command Ubuntu (I don't know about Debian) uses. The syntax is pretty simple: service ssh start starts /etc/init.d/sshd. I haven't used /sbin/rc yet but I feel it works the same way. It won't affect the daemons array, it's just a way of starting, restarting and stopping daemons whilst the system is running. -- Rafael Beraldo http://devio.us/~rberaldo/
