for those who have been using the newer versions of suse this is a stupid question but,
in prior versions there used to be rc.config from where a user could select whether or not to run services such as ntop, ftp, apache and mysql.
The 'rc.config' file has been replaced by the files in directory '/etc/sysconfig/'. However, deciding what services to start has been removed from those configuration files. Now, to activate ntop, we do 'chkconfig ntop on' (or off). The program, a perl script, has several options. You can also use 'insserv' (this one existed in previous SuSE versions) or yast, as Sunny told you.
i know how to do it vanilla style but i would like to know how to do it properly with suse 9.1/9.2
Chapter 12 of the admin book (SuSE 9.1) explains all this. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
