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. 

And this looks better too:

Just the missing LSB's to worry about. 

Have a good weekend all.
