Then you heard it here first! I've always used runlevel 4 to start the network servers. Every one of my systems has had the capability to be a network client or server at the drop of a hat. I always use runlevel 2 when I'm testing a new system build. Until I know for sure what lind of shape it is in, that it is ready to protect itself, I never let it touch a network or vice-versa. The only runlevel I've never used IS 5. I always start X from the command line, after watching the boot, and many times never start it. -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
