Is xinitd a replacement for initd? I looked for doc's and man pages, but couldn't find any. -- Jim Sabatke Hire Me!! - See my resume at http://my.execpc.com/~jsabatke Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

Yes if you really mean xinetd and inetd. That would also explain why you couln't find the documentation. I guess the alternative would be init.d, which also has a man page. AFAIK, xinet.d is now the default in SuSE though I found it easier to use inet.d for clustering on a tightly coupled private network. -- JDL

More secure and easier to add or delete services. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
