Replacement for YAST rc editing in 8.0
Hi all, I know that YAST had a nice editor for I believe rc.config, which had a bunch of easy variables you could set to turn on/off services at startup, for example "start_samba" = "yes". I can't find anything like this in YAST2. All I can find is the runlevel editor which is a little intimidating. I'm using minimal install so I've only got the command line to work with. My rc.config file seems to be pretty empty. Was all of this stuff moved out of it? Peter

check /etc/sysconfig for individual config files. to 'enable' a service use: chkconfig --add nameofservice ( f.ex. chkconfig --add sshd ) to 'disable' it: chkconfig --del nameofservice to list status of all services chkconfig or chkconfig --list ( this gives more info ) --tosi

All the rc.config stuff was moved into separate smaller files under /etc/sysconfig. Now, YaST2 has a sysconfig editor instead. The runlevel editor is the right place to make start/stop service changes (or insserv from the command line). It is really much more standard than the rc.config way which made no distinction between runlevels. Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ Got spam? Get spastic http://spastic.sourceforge.net
