Linuxconf scope configuration _L_i_n_u_x_c_o_n_f manages most daemons and system commands on your computer. Some users may have a special way to handle one service that is beyond the understanding or current capabilities of _L_i_n_u_x_c_o_n_f. In this case, you can restrict _L_i_n_u_x_c_o_n_f so it doesn't interfere with their manage- ment of that service. 11.. TTaasskkss A screen presents you with all the commands and daemons _L_i_n_u_x_c_o_n_f can manage. Just toggle the X flag in front of a command and _L_i_n_u_x_c_o_n_f will, henceforth, completely ignore this service. 22.. OOtthheerr uussaaggee This screen may be useful to disable a service temporarily. For example, you configured the named daemon (DNS) and, for some reason, you don't want to start it anymore. Instead of erasing the /etc/named.boot file or renaming it (its presence does trigger _L_i_n_u_x_c_o_n_f to start /usr/sbin/named), you just go here and disable named. This is easy and it provides a single place to activate/disable most system services.
