Hi A lot of the problems in the old system came about because people were unfamiliar with how to stop services re-starting
for instance sendmail is a classic example, people would mv S88sendmail to say s88sendmail to stop sendmail starting again on reboot. but a sendmail patch would then just re-instate the S88sendmail later The correct method is to add "exit" to /etc/default/sendmail, renaming start script's was never supported I believe. Else remove the packages. Enda Christine Tran wrote: >Moving to smf-discuss. > >No, it will not. That's the whole beauty of SMF, services that you want >not to run, stays off, and vice versa.
