ls -la /etc/rc1.d/
ls -la /etc/rc2.d/
ls -la /etc/rc3.d/
ls -la /etc/rc4.d/
ls -la /etc/rc5.d/
ls -la /etc/rc6.d/

And post the results of those commands.

Thanks,
Richard

too much to post!

i'm using a different pc at the moment obviously so i can't just copy and paste.

but yeh, the "ls -la /etc/rc2.d/" has that file "s09slapd" in it, it's at the bottom of the list.

It's at the bottom? It should be at the top if I recall correctly, since the "S09" should put it to the front. It would help clarify if you could please post the entire result of that command. I know it's a lot of typing but it will be useful.

well i think it goes off of the screen too cos it seems to have more than 1 screens worth of files.

ls -la /etc/rc2.d/ | less

That will give you one page at a time.

s20powernowd
s20rsync
s20samba
s22consolekit
s23ntp
s24avahi-daemon
s24dhcdbd
s25bluetooth
s30gdm
s89anacrom
s89atd
s89cron
s98u-splash
s99acpi-support
s99laptop-mode
s99rc.local
s99rmnologin
s99stop-readahead
s09slapd

and thats all the file names!!

all the rest of the writing i get is things like chmod (all full modded) and the file paths. these files are all in ../init.d/*filename*

That is extremely odd! You seem to be missing:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   18 2007-10-19 10:49 S10sysklogd -> ../init.d/sysklogd
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   15 2007-10-19 10:49 S11klogd -> ../init.d/klogd

Check the other directories (/etc/rcX.d) and see if those files are elsewhere and what "S" number they are.

they are both in /etc/rc1.d/ and it is:

k89klogd
k90sysklogd

i duno y they are k's!


also, in /rc6.d/ i get a k80slapd file

Then we'll manually tell slapd to start in a different way. This should work:

cd /etc/rc1.d/
ln -s /etc/init.d/slapd K88slapd

Try that and reboot...

The "K88" just gives it a place in the start up process. Think of it as the priority. Each run level has a specific set of services that it starts. It starts those services in the order that you specify them.
