New lisa init script

New lisa init script, that:
1)Doens't overwrite settings saved from the KDE Control Center Module
2)Doesn't set lisa to browse ppp connections by default
3)Does't ping by default

Can anyone who has been affected try this?

Also, if you had a saved /etc/lisarc, please also try restarting lisa after
removing the file (or renaming it).

description: 
I have the LAN at 10.0.0.0/8. tcpdump shows that the lisa tries to do an ARP
request for probably all addresses in the network and literally bombards the net
with packets. I don't know what this might cause on a large network. To add to
this it continues these probes even after the LAN interface goes down.

This can also result in a costly problem. The following happened to me:
- I configured my notebook for GPRS over bluetooth
- I removed the LAN card from my notebook so it does not interfere with the
experiments
- I brought a PPP connection up
- The defaultroute was set to ppp0
- The lisa continued to send packets
- They all travelled to the phone, generating paid traffic :-(

The distribution is Mandrake 9.2 Beta 2

Proposed resolution: don't enable the server by default and document this
problem somewhere
