i did that, but it didn't seem to be all that was needed. i got 'round to "telinit 1" and then falling through back to runlevel 2 and all is well.

I certainly hope you have a UPS too. you bet. it's a clunky-looking monster, but it occupies an appropriate spot in the basement for just such a beast. my secondary system wasn't on the ups circuit, and all i could get was 60 days or so before a storm would knock out power for a half-second brownout. zap! uptime all gone. now all my significant computing is ups'd. (any noun -- even acronyms -- can be verbed if you know how to munge the lingo properly...) but i to switch off power to the monitors when expecting to be away for any length of time... -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #21 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Looking to configure your Debian NETWORK SETTINGS? Look at the file /etc/network/interfaces (try "man interfaces" for more info). Then "ifup -a" to reload your settings, and "ifconfig" to display them. (Also check out "apt-get install ipmasq"!)
