Good point - I hadn't thought about the poor blokes who don't have the comfort of a linux desktop from which to perform their system administration tasks. Personally, I most often use the chkconfig command for enabling services, but I do occasionally like to fire up the full yast GUI for hosts on the local lan, and I do use the terminal based yast for remote servers. All 3 approaches have their place. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
