[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 109434] Re: Installing a server for a game automatically auto-inits and runs every boot.

[Bodinux]

As regular linux _user_ for several years now, I don't know how to stop
wesnothd from running at startup.

I installed this to play one game with my son, I might play only a few
games a year. I don't want this server to be started by default.

I would have thought appropriate to have a way to start it manually or
automatically.

As a _user_ my only choice right now is to remove it through synaptic.
As a _user_ finally, I can assure you that many did install it once and
probably have no idea that it is still running in the background.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: tremulous-server

Summary:  Installing the means to start a server for an entertainment game automatically puts it into the /etc/rc* startup sequence, thereby potentially opening a large security hole.  This happens with little information to the end user, and should be _optional_ or offer a quick and easy way to see what is happening with the rc* startup sequences.

Affects:  tremulous-server, wesnoth-server to mention two.  I suspect there are more.
