hi, i have hotwayd setup using xinetd to retrieve my hotmail e-mails but for some reason i have to start xinetd each time i boot.

How can i get xinetd to start automatically at boot?

rc-update add xinetd boot
i think that should work

SuSE, right? (Your profile says Mandrake)

Open Yast -> System -> Runlevel Editor -> Expert mode

find xinetd in the list and tick the 'B' (boot).

Thanks thats sorted it. Oops i didn't realise i still had mandrake as my distro. Only just installed suse and so far i'm liking it more than mandrake.

Yast is brilliant!

YaST-> Network Services-> Network Services (inetd)

It says inetd, but it does start xinetd. It has a nice pretty enable/disable set of radio buttons. It can also handle much of the configuration from there too, though you do still need to monkey around with individual services config files.

woh, Yast has come a long way from Suse 3
