I use chkconfig for this myself, but note that it is possible to use the GUI tools from a remote X connection even if the machine itself is not running X locally (it must have the libs installed). For example, from another desktop, ssh -X remote_machine log in, su - root, then # system-config-services and the window running the system tool will open on your local desktop. I generally *do* use this technique for network changes using system-config-network because I can't keep track of all the new gunk about profiles and stuff that can undo simple changes to the /etc/syconfig/network-scripts/* files when you reboot. -- Les Mikesell les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
