Debian doesn't have one. I usually make /etc/rc.local manually and make /etc/rc2.d/S99rc.local a symlink to that. > 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? Basically RedHat tends to use the "nonstandard" runlevel 3 (ie /etc/rc.d/rc3.d, or /etc/rc3.d if you're using RH 7.x) while Debian defaults to the "standard" runlevel 2 (ie /etc/rc2.d). "standard" or "nonstandard" in this case being compared to other Unix implementations that use the SysV init (ie Irix, Solaris, HP-UX, etc). > This appears to be an area where things are done differently in Red Hat > versus Debian One of them. Basically everyting under /etc/rc.d on RedHat is under /etc on Debian. - -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG fingerprint: 9BF9 D84C 37D0 4FA7 1F2D 7E5E FD94 D264 50DE 1CFC GPG key id: 50DE1CFC GPG public key: http://tux.creighton.edu/~pbrutsch/gpg-public-key.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6pqts/ZTSZFDeHPwRAicYAKC9YqFvgvmlGxfBC3XRx/UIB54NNwCeLwZv /ocTfr25L5vAW8QcTZc2fIA= =W3+K -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
