[NTLUG:Discuss] The Beagle dog on SuSE

[Leroy Tennison]

... 10.3 to be exact.  Wondered why my machine was running dog slow. 
Thought I had killed off the hound some time back when we first had the 
Beagle discussion.  However, looked at the process table and there it 
was: beagled (and beagle-helper something).

Went to Services in the GUI - no beagle listed.  Went to the init 
scripts under /etc, no obvious mutts there either.  Fortunately 'grep -R 
beagle *' at /etc surfaced at least one issue, SuSE had launched it via 
cron.  Created /etc/cron.never and moved the beagle script there, we'll 
see if I've fixed the problem and found all the culprits.

Anybody know if SuSE has any other standard ways of launching this mongrel?

This raises the question "Is there a way to prevent a daemon from 
running something akin to hosts.deny for disallowing access by various 
hosts?"
