Here is what I have setup on my SuSE 6.4 box I created a simple script that runs sshd2, /etc/rc.d/sshd2 then I ran the following to create a symlink to start it during normal boot ln -s /etc/rc.d/sshd2 /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99sshd2 Hope that helps Steven Beverly LAN Tech - PHX EarthLink Inc.

In SuSe, add symlinks manually But on my box it is: ls -al /etc/rc.d/init.d lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1 May 2000 /etc/rc.d/init.d -> . The sshd2 path is /usr/local/sbin/sshd2 At present sshd is running at boot from /usr/sbin/sshd I am at loss - maybe very simple but ....thanks for tipps. /-------------------------/ Antal Leisen webmaster@kreorg.hu Kreorg Educational Center Budapest, Hungary
