A warning: a package that is disabled in this manner will not remain disabled if that package is updated. See man page for update-rc.d. There are also things to watch out for like logrotate. On one machine lpd kept popping up every week even though I wanted it off, logrotate was restarting it! Better to just remove the package if you really don't want it enabled. $.02 Bill Carlson -- Systems Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Anything is possible, Virtual Hospital http://www.vh.org/ | given time and money.
