How do you renable it? I tried using update-rc.d and it complained
about using headers and putting a K or S infront of the daemon name.
There was a program in older versions of ubuntu called "services" but
i have a feeling its not compatible because Ubuntu no longer uses
Sysvinit. I can look it up and just rename the programs in /etc/rc.2
or where the runlevel program names are stored.
