Might be a real newbie question

[jderaleau]

But I am a newbie http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/wink.gif I'm trying to load a MASQ script I created, I chmod it fine, it runs, the problem I'm having is I want it to load at startup. I tried putting it at the end of rc.local, but it's not loading for me? Any help would be appreciated.

How did you add it to your rc.local? The simplest thing to do would just be to add the lines of the script to the end of your rc.local script. You could cat them together like this: cat firewallscript >> rc.local

If you actually want to call the firewall script from rc.local, do it like this:

sh /full/path/firewall

I have it setup as a file that's

/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall

the script does it's thing, and I put it in rc.local before the last fi (I'm using RH 7.0) exactly like above. I also tried popping in a line to run dhcpd just after that, and that isn't running right either?

/usr/sbin/dhcpd eth0
