need help with my bootup config

leaveone · 08-05-2006, 10:09 PM

i would like to know how i can find out everything that starts at boot time. is it just a simple command? what file does it actually get that information from? is it ok to edit that file?

thanks
brandon

All the scripts are in /etc/rc.d, sort of. You genrally don't screw around directly with /etc/init.d/rc.d, but use a tool called a runlevel editor. I'm not sure how you do it in Sarge. I've never wanted to do a runlevel edit in Debian. Debian runs pretty lean already.

well i am trying to see if i have firewall crap running at boot time.. i cant seem to do any sort of file xfer stuff and i even have the ports forwarded on my router.. so im trying to make sure that i just uninstall them or at least disable them..

also when i do "iptables -L filter" it says i dont have anything set.. so maybe the firewall isnt the answer here?

For the services I think it is "lsconfig -l" to see what is running. Else use "dmesg" to see the startup protocol, that should show you what happened during startup...

Which Debian pkg. provides lsconfig?

I don't know, I use SuSE. Anyone?

You might have asked google though
