Hi Marco. And hello from NewBrunswick.
Well your suggestions are valid and I do appreciate your input.
I will try and follow the examples that are there now and if all else fails I
will just stick those lines in the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file, as you suggested.
I run Slackware here and that is what I do in that system. At least when I
can't find a place for something - this is where I put it.
But - at some point in time I would certainly like to know how to do this
stuff right, as RedHat would like..
Thanks again..
