Why not purge the package that provided it, instead of manually mucking around with debian-installed files ? >I installed the quota pakage, could that be where quotarpc comes from? dpkg -S /etc/init.d/quotarpc will tell you. If it is, then dpkg --purge quota will remove the package completely. By the way, /etc/init.d/quotarpc is a shell script which is easily readable. If you do that you'll see that the rpc.rquotad daemon is only started if you have quotas enabled on the local filesystem and are exporting filesystems over NFS. Otherwise, the script does nothing. And if you do have quotas enabled and you are exporting filesystems over NFS to another box, you do actually want to have that daemon running. So basically there's no need to muck around with the initscript by hand. It will do the right thing automatically. Mike. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
