Now, how do I prevent /etc/init.d/clock being run at boot time? If I command "rc-update del clock" it gets put back again at shutdown time. My reason is that I want to run chrony on my network, for its smooth adjustment of system time, and it can't work properly if another program also changes the system time. -- Rgds Peter -- gentoo-amd64@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
