You can tell if it supports ipx, but you can't tell if it supports
it because you loaded a module or because it was compiled in.
`ls /proc/net/ipx*` will show.......
ipx ipx_interface ipx_route
... if you've got ipx enabled (somehow).
To find if it's enabled by a module, then you can then do:
`lsmod | grep ipx` if you found it was enabled.

Open an AF_IPX socket
Okay. this would require a little C code right? is there a shell command
line tool I could use instead?

What exactly is your intention? IPX networking from a shell script?

No, no. Just simply find out whether my kernel supports ipx. And if it does
support it, then to disable it, without recompiling the kernel, perhaps by
removing ipx entries from /etc/services.

Can't you just
grep ipx System.map
??? Or am I being thick again? :-/

Deleting entries from /etc/services and such won't disable anything, just
make it a triffle more dificult to use.
If you want to disable it, do so. If it isn't there, it will complain.

If IPX is compiled into the kernel then you can't disable it from the kernel.
You can certainly check what ipx tools are installed and make sure those are
not activated - but thats really distro specific - most don't ship any IPX
using apps.
Alan
Or maybe:
strings /proc/kernel/ksyms | grep ipx
