I have an 030 Next at home that I use for almost everything except networking and printing(No printer yet). I was wondering if any one knew of what to disable in the rc files so that certain daemons won't get started. What is not needed? =derek

I tried this but found that if you are not careful, the system will not boot. My remedy: a script (suid root) which will kill the 4 biod processes and sendmail (you can add your choice of others) after booting: kill_proc: #! /bin/sh -u PIDS=`ps -ax | bm sendmail | grep -v bm | awk '{print $1}'` kill -TERM $PIDS PIDS=`ps -ax | bm autonfsmount | grep -v bm | awk '{print $1}'` kill -TERM $PIDS PIDS=`ps -ax | bm inetd | grep -v bm | awk '{print $1}'` kill -TERM $PIDS PIDS=`ps -ax | bm biod | grep -v bm | awk '{print $1}'` kill -TERM $PIDS Not elegant, but works -- and if you carry your slab to the office you cna hook it up to the net without rewriting rc.
