Just for info to those who are working on Gentoo...
You can do the same thing with the "rc-update" script. The command:
rc-update add postfix default
will add the postfix service to the default run level. Removing services from auto startup is done by changing the "add" portion to "del". The service name can be sometimes finiky - sometimes it's simply the name of the service (such as postfix, or apache2), and sometimes it's the name of the daemon (like spamd for spamassassin). To get a list of what services are available, and when/if they will be started, you can do "rc-update show".
Thanks for the tip Szemir.

Hi For a question i got yesterday: How to add services to start automatically at boot-time and or remove them by hand??
I was suggesting not to do it by HAND, but use the otherwise available chkconfig
This is part of linux base. and the fun part is, this script knows the thing about adding/starting services in a paraticular order, and does not make a mess of the whole process.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# chkconfig chkconfig version 1.3.6 - Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Red Hat, Inc. This may be freely redistributed under the terms of the GNU Public License.
usage: chkconfig --list [name] chkconfig --add <name> chkconfig --del <name> chkconfig [--level <levels>] <name> <on|off|reset>) [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# chkconfig --list alsa 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off dm 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:on 6:off kheader 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off keytable 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
the script also knows about the necessery settings regarding the different run-levels. use it to add/delete/list services set on your system.
Also note, that many distros do have well-functioning gui-front-ends for this script to manage services, if you have yoour gui set properly, you can use those too :-)
Cheers Szemir
