Hi before installing suse 9 i was using red hat 9 (dumped it after they effectively dumped me!!). red hat has a great tool for managing services called Service Configuration (redhat-config-services). it would provide a complete list of available services with check boxes on each to start and stop them as required. thats it, just a simple list, with start/stop (no complex run-level stuff for a linux newbie like me). it was quick, easy and gave a great overview of the services installed. my question is basically is there an equivalent tool in suse i haven't yet found, or if not, can i install the red hat one on my suse machine?? or better still, is there another tool out there that does a similar job easily? any suggestions would be great. thanks Takis

In SuSE YaST has about all the tools that you will need. In YaST, under System, there is the Runlevel editor, where you can define which services start up during boot. You can also start and stop them. The Xinetd stuff is under 'Network Services'. I found that Yast provides much better tools than RedHat did, and they are all available from one place.
