Hi. I have upgraded X to X.4.0.3, and when installing 'xf86base' it installs, but complaints at the end about '/sbin/insserv' not found. I can't find where is this utility, and neither in Suse 7.0 cd's. As appears below, it exists. Could someone finding it in his hard this tell me in which package it is? The commands: rpm -qf /sbin/insserv rpm -qf `which insserv` should work. Thanks.

This program doesn't exist under SUSE.
Would someone tell me what method is used with SUSE to
configure
for different run levels ?
have a look at rc.config and one startup file for a daemon, e.g. sshd.
Set START_(name of service) to "yes" - it starts, "no" -it doesn't.
Red Hat's chkconfig simply adds or removes the symlinks in /etc/rc.d/ that enable the script on bootup. Starting with SuSE Linux 7.1, you can basically do both: editing the START_* variables, as Michael already mentioned (either using a text editor or YaST2'2 rc.config-editor) or by using "insserv", which can be compared to chkconfig. Have a look at
services the
insserv(8) man page for more info.
