Martin, I don't think that you understood what I meant. Either that or I described it incorrectly. I did modify the rc.d files using BEFORE: and REQUIRE:. That works just fine. The problem is if one of those files is updated, the rc.d file is overwritten resulting in the loss of my customization. I therefore have to manually edit those files again. I was trying to find someway to circumvent that procedure. -- White Hat [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
