Stop services booting on Debian Woody

[thedaver]

I've Deb Woody booting to run level 2.
I DO NOT have anything in /etc/rc2.d/ that would trigger the startup of the "portmap" and "lpd" services, yet there they are running when I reboot. I have to shut them down manually.

Where else would these scripts get called from in the system's boot scripts?

I tried "grep -i portmap /etc/*" and received nothing meaningful. This is a bit of a wild goose chase for me.

Help appreciated!
Dave.

The 'Debian Way' I remember would be:
[tt]
update-rc.d -f portmap remove
[/tt]
Just replace 'portmap' with any other services you want to disable (like lpd). It's hard to just uninstall portmap and lpd, as a lot of packages have them listed as dependancies. Also, make sure the services aren't listed in /etc/inetd.conf or /etc/xinetd.d/ (not sure which one Debian uses by default these days).

I went ahead and used the suggested command which wipes away the init scripts. However, I still really didn't figure out what was calling them...

More suggestions welcome. Thanks flugh!

did you look in the other inits that might start before (or after) rc2.d?

 

[thedaver]

that's the nature of my question. the default init is 2, so nothing else really should be launched?! other guidance?

Is there a rc1.d?

 

[thedaver]

/etc/rc1.d/

/etc/rc1.d# ls
K11cron  K15fetchmail     K20clamav-daemon     K20exim   K20makedev  K20ssh  K80nfs-kernel-server  K89atd    K90sysklogd  K14ppp   K19spamassassin  K20clamav-freshclam  K20inetd  K20mysql    K23ntp  K81nfs-common         K89klogd  S20single

I could see the NFS references loading portmap, but I cannot figure into a way that lpd loads?! And I'm not entirely sure that rc1.d is even initted!?!! Your thoughts?
