The Unix Way is to rename S20apache to K20apache. That way, you can see what's been explicitly turned off, and you'll know that if it's not in /etc/rc2.d/ then it hasn't been installed. Remeber to also rename /etc/rc6.d/K??apache !!! -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ron Johnson, Jr. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Jefferson, LA USA http://members.cox.net/ron.l.johnson | | | | "Fear the Penguin!!" | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
