I most definitely want to do that in a couple of cases. Although SuSE's init structure is fine for the regular user, there's no point in parsing /etc/rc.config `ls /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/ |wc -l` (= 102 in my place) times just to pick out a single "yes" or "no" for services you'll _never_ want to start and in some cases even haven't installed (and yes, as everybody else I wonder why the heck SuSE believes users want nscd).
Yeah, you ahve a point there, but AFAIK suse is pretty good with keeping /etc/rc.d clean. I have never had any extra scripts left if I remove an rpm. Maybe you are not doing it right? It does make me wonder however why Marc thought NSCD was important enough to leave running after a "harden_suse"??? -Nix -- Microsoft is to operating systems & security .... .... what McDonalds is to gourmet cooking
