And when a service has not started you are not aware of this fact and you spend a lot of time to find out why your network is not working... why you can't make any ssh from another computer... and so on. This is really a stupid idea!! If you don't have the root permission, it is better to phone to your system administrator, saying :"network has not started at boot time" (because you have seen the "FAILED" warning) than to say: "something is wrong, I don't know what!" Why developpers of linux distributions always want to imitate MS stupidity? -- François Patte Inde : Ecole française d'Extrême-Orient Deccan College Pune 411006 Tél : (00 91) (0) 20 26 69 39 04 France : Université René Descartes - Paris 5 UFR de mathématiques et informatique http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte
