Thank you, I made that change as well. Coming from a FreeBSD background I am quickly learning the idiosyncrasies between it and Linux. Again, thanks guys...

You have the right idea, but you seem to be getting the *BSD way confused with the Linux way - Linux has the concept of runlevels, while *BSD doesn't, among other things. One of the reason's why you can't seem to get it to start at boot time is that you're probably using the wrong rc?.d directory - the default runlevel for Debian is 2, rather than 5 (ie should have used /etc/rc2.d). Also, symlinking sshd to /etc/rc5.d/S99sshd isn't quite the right thing to do - it would be best if you make a shell wrapper in /etc/init.d (I've included the one I use so that you have a starting point). -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
