How do you start up daemons (SP?) when the system boots up? I'm pretty sure I hafta edit the /etc/rc.config file but I'm not sure what exactly I need to put in there. Thanks.

look in /etc/rc#.d where # is the runlevel number. if the program is standalone, you'll find the script for it. scripts that run at startup begins with "S##" and.
all you have to do to get a script to run at startup is to rename it so that its filename begins with "S".

if it's not standalone, edit /etc/inetd.conf and uncomment all deamons you want to run then run killall -HUP inetd
