Hmmm. I see what you are trying to achieve. I can't think of a better solution at the moment, but there is a real loss of functionality there if tftpd was in use previously. Perhaps a warning in the postinst if the suggested services are found to be enabled in inetd.conf? Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB. CCs of replies on mailing lists are welcome.
