Debian has a directory of such config files, located in /etc/rc.config.d And this is much better manageble then 1 big config file for all packages (and debian has lots more then any other distro). Also in debian these config files are placed by the packages (just like used user accounts are created on package install) unlike in Suse where these are pre-placed (and users created etc) in the base-install. I myself consider the debian way a LOT cleaner and better manageble. and I hope it stays this way, (I use suse at work... it sucks). If you don't want something started then you can probably tell dpkg to only install it, and not yet configure it (man dpkg, man apt*) or just shut it down after installing (man update-rc). -- Mark Janssen Unix / Linux, Open-Source and Internet Consultant @ SyConOS IT E-mail: mark(at)markjanssen.nl / maniac(at)maniac.nl GnuPG Key Id: 357D2178 Web: Maniac.nl Unix-God.[Net|Org] MarkJanssen.[com|net|org|nl] SyConOS.[com|nl]
