Startup Services Question


This is a Sarge netinstall on i386 with all packages excluding... well now I can't remember.

Basically, AppleTalk NET4: AppleTalk 0.18a for Linux NET 4.0 starts up along with everything else (during startup), and startup just stops here for a while... is there a way I can disable this AppleTalk service?

That is all.

Thank you.

There are many ways to disable services. The quickest way is to run (as root) "invoke-rc.d <service_name> stop" but that will disable the service only for the current session. You'll find the names of different services from /etc/init.d/. If you want to disable a service permanently, you can use the "update-rc.d" command instead (see the man page for usage).

Or you can install the "rcconf" utility that gives you an ncurses frontend for managing the services on your current runlevel. You'll need to reboot before changes made in rcconf take effect. There's also a program called "sysvconfig" that is pretty similar to "rcconf" but it has also menus for configuring services on other runlevels.

And, of course, you can always manually edit/add/remove symlinks in /etc/rc{0-6,S}.d/.

Actually there is an updated version of rcconf which is called sysv-rc-conf. You can use it to start and stop services in the current session and to enable and disable services for certain runlevels.

I'm having the same problem, I want to disable AppleTalk. However, I'm not sure which service this is. Does anyone know what it's called?
