The new code tries to run any script in a local_startup directory (by default /usr/local/etc/rc.d and /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d) that has the execute bit set. So, if there is a script in one of those directories that you don't want run at all, the safest thing to do is to create a directory within rc.d, and move the script there. Parsing of these scripts is not a recursive operation. The second safest thing to do is to remove the execute bit from those scripts. hth, Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
