A couple of days ago someone asked the question that was in the back of my mind, but I don't recall seeing the answer/s.
In Red Hat and some other Red Hat "like" distributions the path sequence /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc.local can be used to execute your custom scripts and/or start daemons at boot time, that is they are run out of rc.local The person was asking what/where is the place where one does this kind of thing in Debian? I cannot find /etc/rc.d There is an /etc/rc.boot and a /etc/init.d If I wanted to start the printer daemon at boot time where would I put the following lpd start You can also use rc3.d to start the lpd daemon in the Red Hat way of doing things - is this the answer? This appears to be an area where things are done differently in Red Hat versus Debian Thanks John
