Deleting the symlinks should work. Since they only get followed when runlevels are changed, and that generally occurs at bootup (unless you change runlevels on your computer frequently), removing the symlinks will keep the daemons from being started, but you can start them your self with an /etc/init.d/<daemon> restart. -- --------------- n = ((n >> 1) & -x55555555) | ((n << 1) & 0xaaaaaaaa); n = ((n >> 2) & 0x33333333) | ((n << 2) & 0xcccccccc); n = ((n >> 4) & 0x0f0f0f0f) | ((n << 4) & 0xf0f0f0f0); n = ((n >> 8) & 0x00ff00ff) | ((n << 8) & 0xff00ff00); n = ((n >> 16) & 0x0000ffff) | ((n << 16) & 0xffff0000); /* Reverses the bits in a word. */ --------------- Phil Gregory, aka [EMAIL PROTECTED] Member, DNRC PGP public key available upon request. -------------------------------
