I am very pleased with a new Squeeze desktop that I built. I am use to using BSD style init scripts (Slackware, OpenBSD, Arch) and am trying to tweak my system not to start vsftpd at boot. I use vsftpd occasionally to move large files between computers on my LAN. My inittab shows run level 2 as default.

I'm running debian unstable and since there was the switch to dependency based boot I can no longer control my boot services.I used to suppress the services that I use rarely during boot with: sudo update-rc.d -f myservice remove This arranged the links in /etc/rc?.d and everything worked.
Now this command only says: update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing.This seems to work until I upgrade the service to a new version and it is enabled again.Do you have any idea of how to disable boot services permanently with the new system?

One way is to do it like this
Copy the file to /etc/init.d/
chmod +x the file

But is there a better way ?
I have a debian 8.1.1 server running owncloud and a proxy server at home. I have everything working fine, with one exception. The proxy server won't start on boot. If I ssh into the server, then run "sockd -D" as root, it starts up and runs just fine. Any guides I find refer to the init.d script method that worked in Wheezy, but that isn't working. I think it has to do with Jessie switching to systemd? I had used someone elses script in init.d, and ran update-rc.d, but it still doesn't start.
With Jessie, how can I make "sockd -D" execute on system startup?
I'm running Debian Etch AMD64, and currently trying to clean up my system in preparation for an upgrade to Lenny. One problem I have is that resolvconf (which is installed) does not start at boot time, but if I start it manually then bring the NIC down and back up, it works OK, with no error/warning messages.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running Debian-Squeeze with apache2. However, apache2 doesn't start at boot time, even though there is of course the required script in init.d. I can start it later on using "/etc/init.d/apache2 start". I have checked the configuration with "apachectl configtest" - giving the answer "Syntax ok". How do I get it to start automatically at boot time?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have just recently installed firestarter to get an idea of iptables editing with a GUI. Firestarter works great and I love it, however when I turn my system on, and my system is booting up the terminal displays a "Failed" message when attempting to start up firestarter. Now I have been doing my homework (reserch) and have read that a user will get this error because firestarter trys to load prior to the network manager starting up. I have also read some other variables that can cause this is if you use network manager and have a password on your user account (which I do have) can cause this issue.
However in most cases from what I have read is even though it gives the user a "Failed" startup message, once the user logs in, and is connected to the internet firestarter will actually load the iptables. I did some tests and from what I understand I can see that this is true because I have allowed access to certain torrent trackers, and denied access to others, and I can see some come online. Does firestarter load iptables once the user logs in? Or once it fails to load, does it not load at all unless you manually open/load the application. If firestarter just modifies iptables, then once I save my listings in firestarter then I really don't need it to start up correct?

I've been using VSFTPD for years but i can't seem to get over this particular issue. I'm unable to make VSFTPD 3.0.2 work with a legit STARTSSL TLS cert on Debian 8.1 kernel 3.16.0-4-amd64.
500 OOPS: SSL: cannot load RSA certificate.
Openssl 1.0.1k correctly verifies the .PEM file containing both my domain's cert and the intermediate CA one. I've tried adding the private key to the .PEM file and also using it as a separate .key file. Also tried mixing my cert with the intermediate CA one and the private key... to no avail.
Every file is inside /etc where all the conf files reside (also the user specific conf files). File permissions for the .pem and key files are 600.
I'm successfully using the same certificate for NGINX.

Howto disable IPV6 in Lenny?
I added this line:alias ipv6 off in /etc/modprobe.d/aliases:# cat /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
# These are the standard aliases for devices and kernel drivers.
# This file does not need to be modified.

# Please file a bug against module-init-tools if a package needs a entry

I've been using Debian since the early days of Lenny being testing as OS on the same Computer. Its a Acer Aspire Notebook with switches for wireless and bluetooth. While booting Lenny my wireless and bluetooth stayed off as long as I didn't switch them on. But since squeeze they get activated ( you can see it by looking at the LED's ) the moment after the grub screen. I now do have to turn bluetooth and wireless off by hand everytime which is quite annoying since I mostly use eth0.
how to disable bluetooth and wireless per default in a way I can simply turn them back on by using the switch?
So from a web server stand point if we start using swap for httpd or mysql its bad and performance goes down the drain. So would it be a good or bad idea to disable swap entirely?

In the murky world of X11, window managers, session managers and desktop environments I cannot seem to figure out how to achieve the following in Squeeze:
1. Leave Gnome installed, but prevent it from launching when typing startx
2. Have both X11 and my prefered default window manager (blackbox) startup when I type startx (or similar)
My ultimate goal is to leave Gnome installed but "dormant" and when I do a remote ssh -X be able to use X11 forwarding with blackbox.
I'm using xfce, and the power manager settings, to only lock the screen when close, are not honored. The laptop suspends, no matter what, when closed. Is there a way to forcibily only allow xfce power manager to handle the close lid behavior?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a printer connected locally to my Debian box. It runs fine via cupsd.I am also running a Windows 2003 VMware guest which I would like to use the printer (use as a local printer, not a network printer).
VMware offers a connection via USB, so it should work. The printer I have plugged locally into the Debian host is recognised by the Windows 2003 guest, but it won't print. I get an error message saying that the printer is still connected to the host OS, and that I need to remove (or presumably disable) the host driver before the guest can use the printer.
So how can I find out which printer driver/module is being used by the Debian host to connect to this printer? And what is the best way to temporarily disable it, while my VMware guest is running?
I'm installing a non-X server using squeeze 32bit netinst iso, expert installation. I don't know that I can specify "debian-installer/framebuffer=false" during the installation, after reboot I got a framebuffer display with console fonts smaller and fonts look like ubuntu. I search around I can edit GRUB config for the resolution items or disable framebuffer. How can I disable the framebuffer (use normal text system fonts) when booting in LILO?
I got everything installed and setuped, I don't want to re-install the OS again.
