    If using Suse, you put your own command in /etc/init.d/boot.local. As for services, you should be able to disable most services using "chkconfig" or using the services or runlevel config tool in YAST.

    I've already tried ot uninstall the services and chkconfig the little blighters but there
    are some dependancy problems.

    Just edit the file and put in the commands you wish to run at boot up. If there are many scripts, you can put them in /usr/local/bin and then put in the commands to run these scripts in /etc/init.d/boot.local e.g. if I had a script called myscript in /usr/local/bin and I want it to be run at boot up, I would simply add /usr/local/bin/myscript to /etc/init.d/boot.local.

    What are the services you are trying to disable?

    portmap ...to get rid of sunrpc

    and ipp.

    I admit i've not done my homework on this one and perhaps i could just disable them with
    no real problems but i'm already learnig abput half a dozen things simultaeneouly so i just want to take reasonable security steps in the meantime and let myself catch up a bit!!

    To disable a service e.g. portmap from running at boot time, you would do something like
    Code:
    #chkconfig portmap off
    That always works for me on Redhat derived distros and Suse. To stop service immediately, you can do
    Code:
    #service portmap stop
    or
    Code:
    #/etc/init.d/portmap stop
    The service command is not available in Suse.
