Weird. system-config-services does nothing else than running things like "chkconfig telnet on" or "chkconfig telnet off" and for non-xinetd driven services start/stop them with the "service" helper tool. That edits the files and replaces the same disable=yes/no setting. Whether you do it with chkconfig or system-config-services, makes no difference. -- Michael Schwendt <mschwendt@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Core release 5 (Development) - Linux 2.6.12-1.1413_FC5 loadavg: 1.07 1.04 1.01
