If you don't want a service started then why are your starting it, because you might want it is a stupid argument with next to no positives. SSH takes a blink of an eye to start. It is far better not to mention more secure to start a service during the pristeen boot phase than wait for it to do it's shizzle including dropping priviledges etc. upon the receipt of packets. You have to wait for the bios and hardware so a split second won't matter on boot. If ever more likely to matter (a second) then it will be when you need it in fact. I would also much rather have my daemons ready and waiting than have them come running when I or an attacker calls. Having a daemon hanging around with a trigger finger ready to kill daemons is also really dumb. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
