I'm sure there is something simple, here, or maybe I need to emerge a
package, but...

I'm coming from a Mandrake backgroud... When a service is defined in
/etc/init.d/ to have the application start you do a "chkconfig
<service_name> on" (or OFF, and allows you to specify the run levels
also for on or off) and it sets it to start at the run levels defined in
the file in the init.d folder...

Is there an equivelent command in gentoo, or where do I look to have a
service start automatically (sshd for example)

Thanks

Brian

`rc-update add <service> default` should do the trick for you.

Thanks!

Just an all new learning curve here for a few things.

And the Gentoo handbook has extensive coverage of everything you're
likely to need. For instance, this is covered in section 2, chapter 4:
