Cute and true, but this does NOT enable the service it starts it [once] After banking my head on the wall a bit (redhat chkcfg service on) I apt- getted the sysV init stuff (yea I can manage the symlinks and priorities and I absolutely bet my last $ that debian/ubuntu has a mechanism to manage services but the lack of clear answers here says it is well hidden. Actually IMHO no other distro comes within 100km of suse yast (curses) or yast2 (GUI) sys admin tool stack James PS See how good I was to not cast an opinion on the merits <choke> of sudo :-) -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
