Hi Kurt, The easiest way to stop something from running at boot is: Look at /etc/inittab an find what runlevel is the default. If you haven't changed the default runlevel then it should be runlevel 2 /etc/rc2.d/ directory contains the scripts that are run. The first letter of the script name determins what happens S Starts a process K Kills a process The next two numbers determine the order that the scripts are run starting from the lowest to 99 the highest. This makes certain that you don't run xdm before some other process. Just by renaming the script that you don't to run, like S20ssh rename it to something like noS20ssh. That is a simple way to stop the script from executing at boot while at the same time providing an easy way to reinstitute it at a later time. Have a good day Kurt D.
