There is something much better! First of all, rc.config settings have been moved to /etc/sysconfig. Starting and stopping of services is only controlled by the run level link, either configured via YaST2 runlevel editor or insserv (see 'man insserv'). This is *much* more flexible then the old way.
BTW, only few SuSE employees read this list. So if you wanted your rant to reach SuSE, this list is not the best place.
well, it is old news ! Someone told what you told and I'm enswered ... Things like "run level editor" was exatly what I'm "running away from" when I migrate to Suse since version 6.1, it is what I call "steps back" . I've been using Suse just because it can do this job in a "simple and practic" way, if Suse no longer can do it in the same way, I'll migrate to another one !
What's wrong with: $ insserv portmap To have portmap start $ innserv -r portmap To have portmap not start (-r = remove). Please check your facts before babbling like this please. -- Mads Martin Jørgensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A.
