OK, to follow up on this. Yes changing to run level 3 did stop the problems at startup, (have had a few blackouts today, hence my interest in fixing this!). However then I could not contact anything on the server, no DHCP requests were being answered, although logging in on the terminal shows that DHCP was running and that both eth0 and eth1 were up and running.
Now I assume that this has something to do with the files in /etc/rc.d/rc5.d and /etc/rc.d/rc3.d, I do not know what the various prefixes on the filenames stand for. Is it 'safe' to simply copy all the files from the 5 directory to the 3 directory. Or am I missing something else? > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of > Simon Bryan > Sent: Sun, 24.
