Yes under Solaris I prepend a _S or a _K to disable the script. But under RedHat Linux there is a Correct Sanctioned Way: /sbin/chkconfig --level 5 nfslock off /sbin/chkconfig --level 5 portmap off This is because, unlike Solaris, in RedHat the contents of the /etc/rcX.d directories are just symlinks to /etc/init.d -- and correctly-written init scripts indicate what order/priority they have to be (the S14 and K14) --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
