That's the problem, then. It should have comments, near the top, as to what what runlevel it should be started at, and *when* (i.e., after the network is up for apache...). Then running chkconfig <servicename> on will make it happen. >From a 6.5 server, from /etc/init.d/sshd: # chkconfig: 2345 55 25 This will start and make sure sshd is running in runlevels 2, 3, 4, and 5, and it will start it as S55sshd on the way up, and shut id down with K25 on the reboot. mark
