Hello Jeff. Thanks for responding to my question and also Ray Curtis as
well. One learns something new everyday, they say. I hope that is true.
Wouldn't we all be smart in a year's time?
Anyways - I never heard of 'chkconfig' before. I was thinking that I had to
go and amend a file like /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, or something. Maybe RedHat
is a little simpler to use than 'slackware' ?? That is what I am used to so
anything simple is not what I am used to.
I looked over the man page on chkconfig and yup - it is simple. I ran that
line " chkconfig --level 35 lpd on" and then rebooted, and sure enough
I saw the lpd daemon being loaded. Great stuff. And I bet it amended a file
somewhere too?
Thanks to all who responded. The tip was really appreciated.
