> Thank you, I just did the IPL and everything came up OK. It's not the IPL, it's the next software install you do with yast that adds an init script that's going to do you harm. Yast rearranges the symlinks in /etc/rc.<n>d to sequence the startup based on those comments without asking you. If your script doesn't have the magic comments inside it, Yast assigns it to priority 00, ignoring any dependencies, and startup gets really, REALLY unhappy.

Fine. Make sure your script includes the comment header that the other init scripts have, and that the information in it is correct. If that's the case, you can relax and not worry about it any longer. If not, you're living on borrowed time until someone else runs Yast to install something and it detonates. -- db ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
