Well, in CS, it won't, because CS doesn't have ibguard/ibserver
processes. One process named ib_inet_server gets started from inet or
xinet for each attached client.

You don't stop it because it isn't there. To stop a ib_inet_server
process, just use kill.

Whaat? It's been some long while since I had 1.03 installed (I'm running
1.5 servers here, one CS and one SS). But I never had problems with the
init scripts or the rpms. Slackware - I don't know - you might be having
installation problems if it is a bit out of the ordinary about where it
locates things.

I'm struggling to see any similarity between the 1.03 CS installation
script and Windows....

I bet you would help yourself a lot by reading the 1.0 release notes,
available for download from the same place (presumably) you downloaded the
binary.

Still - maybe if you hurl insults around for long enough, someone will take
pity on you.

Some apologies in retrospect would be nice.
