Hi Dan,
Are you comfortable doing a little work from the command line interface? Fire up a
konsole, switch
user to root (if you're not root already), and then you can configure it a few
different ways. So
go like this:
1. Get to a command line: open a console, etc
2. Change to root if you're not already root:
[john@homer john]$ su
Password:
[root@homer john]#
3. You can activate it with chkconfig. Read the manpage and then it will go something
like this,
as an example:
[root@homer john]# chkconfig smb on
[root@homer john]#
4. You can also fire up a menu-based configuration utility, ntsysv:
[root@homer john]# ntsysv
I don't use linuxconf, so i can't help you with why it's not working. But neither of
the methods i
just mentioned has EVER failed me.
As for multiple instances of a service being listed, i know that the services that are
started/stopped are all in various subdirectories of /etc/rc.d - for example the
services that are
started up when you have your box to boot into X automatically (runlevel 5) are
located in
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d (hence the runlevel 5). Those with an S get started when that
particular runlevel
is started, and those with a K get killed when that particular runlevel is started.
I hope that helps.
Good luck,
j
