[GLLUG] adding init scripts to runlevels suse 9.3

[Lachniet, Mark]

One thing I've noticed on my SuSE linux boxes since 9.x is that the init files tend to work strangely - like they don't have enough privileges or something.  If you make a NEW init file, even if you load it up with 'su' commands, set paths and all that, they just don't seem to run properly.  So, FWIW, be warned that even when you DO get your symlinks working, your new RC file might act weird.  Of course I've been too lazy to actually determine what the problem is, so I'd love to hear if anyone knows.

rc-update is merely a script that makes symlinks.

Typically you have a directory called /etc/rc.d/ which contains a set of
runlevels [0-6] and sometimes s.

So take a sneaky peaky in there if you have one; you are either
symlinking or adding things to a file usually (SYS V or BSD).
