I'm not sure what rc.local is used for in Red Hat but in debian in the /etc directory there are a group of directories rcx.d/ where x is a number between 0 and 6 or alternatively S. These directories contain scripts to be run when you enter the runlevel that corresponds to the number x. So when you enter runlevel 2 you run the scripts in /etc/rc2.d/ . If you look in these files you'll notice that all of the names of the scripts start with S or K. The script names that begin with S start services and the script names that begin with K kill services. You'll also notice that these scripts are really just symlinks to scripts in the /etc/init.d/ directory. Anyway, what you'll want to do is add a script to the rc directory that corresponds to the runlevel that you want the service to start in. For example to start the inetd daemon in runlevel 2 add the script S20inetd to /etc/rc2.d/ where S20inetd is a symlink to /etc/init.d/inetd. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/rc2.d$ ls -ld S20inetd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Mar 23 04:56 S20inetd -> ../init.d/inetd Check the archives for a more complete discussion of this topic. I believe a thread was started this weekend that talked about adding and removing services. later, Andy
