Then 90%+ of UNIX flavors I used so far fall into that 25%. And I have no mean UNIX experience either, even tho I don't call myself a guru (SunOS, Solaris, OSF/1, HP/UX, lots of different Linuxes, AIX from 2 up to 4). And I was a professional AIX admin (inside IBM) for some time, so at least for that one I can testify with deep knowledge. > > Now, I know that you can have NFS either active or not on runlevel > > 3.

If you say Connectiva was > using it as a point-of-reference, then I'm really just curious. Errr, I never made such a claim :) I said I was using it when I was working for Conectiva. As a matter of fact, I was following a lot of standards that Conectiva never mandated.
