A technique that I've used in packages with this issue is to install the rc*.d symlinks by default, but also have the init script check a file in /etc/default to see whether or not to actually start at boot. If you install a default /etc/default file that says not to start, you accomplish the same thing, don't have this problem, and make it just as easy for users to enable the package. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
