Oops. You might remeber a conversation a few weeks ago about removing old files/cleaning up. I discovered that I had renamed a number of rc(x) files to '.old' Having renamed them back to remove the .old suffix, I now have: pet...@peterm-desktop:/etc$ ls -ld init*.d rc*.d drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-08-26 08:47 init.d drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-06-18 16:16 rc0.d drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-06-18 16:16 rc1.d drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-06-18 16:16 rc2.d drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-06-18 16:16 rc3.d drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-06-18 16:16 rc4.d drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-08-04 13:27 rc5.d drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-06-18 16:16 rc6.d drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-05-13 08:02 rcS.d pet...@peterm-desktop:/etc$ Which looks better.
