I guess the solution, then, is: a) if you want on-demand dialling, set up that (using diald), b) otherwise, get rid of the diald package Avery Fay: > >I do know that they are created during the init process because when I > >delete they reappear after reboot. Just by the way (and so you don't get confused later), the "init process" is a technical term which doesn't mean what you think it means. What you mean is called initialization, boot-up or start-up sequence. The `init' process is the program that runs as process number 1; it starts up after the kernel has finished its own initializations, and runs further initializations (from the init.d directory), makes sure there are gettys (or something) running on the six console screens at all times, and oversees the shutdown of the system. It is configured and controlled with /etc/inittab and /sbin/telinit Jiri -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> We'll know the future has arrived when every mailer transparently quotes lines that begin with "From ", but no-one remembers why.
