Hello. New linux user here. Downloaded/installed Fedora FC2. No
problems, I was amazed!
I have a lot of Windows experience, and some Solaris.
I installed the server version of Fedora. I setup and have working
sendmail, vsftpd, httpd, etc.
But I noticed they dont start at boot. I start them manually. From
my solaris days I know I can start them with /etc/rc3.d/Swhatever
start. I've also learned from this mailing list that I can start them
with the command 'service whatever start'.
But how do I get them to load at boot? In Solaris, the existance of
the S script in /etc/rc3.d was enough. But that doesnt seem to do it
here?
thx,

If you're using the "Graphical" login, use the "Start/RedHat"
button-->System Settings-->ServerSettings-->Services for
most services. There's a special problem with Sendmail
because they wanted to make sure that unknowledgable users
don't accidentally create mail/spam relays. There's a
separate thread on this list (and documentation in
/usr/share/doc I'm told) about really setting up mail.
