Of course, sysvconfig doesn't exist for Woody! ;c(  (I'll be glad to finally
get off this distro!)

But all is not lost...here is what I found...finally...that connected the missing
links in my understanding.

In my linux system:
/usr/share/doc/sysvinit/README.runlevels.gz
This explained the various directories and the runlevel concepts

Then I saw somewhere that one needed to use the update-rc.d command to create
the links in the various /etc/rc?d directories to point to the ddclient script
in /etc/init.  It's these links that execute the scripts in /etc/init at startup
and shutdown.

I found more accessible info for update-rc.d at:
http://www.infodrom.org/Debian/doc/maint/Maintenance-runlevel.html
Note well, however, that the keyword listed in this page as "default" is really
"defaults" (with an "s").

So, that was the missing link and hopefully that will help someone else avoid
the same pain!
