OK I'll byte... 1. don't you need to declare the 'override vars' before the host declarations if they are to be used? 2. why not have 1 or 2 logging levels as variables (have you tested how much this script will end up logging on an @home connection?)...variables loglev1 & loglev2 and set them both to "-l" or "" as desired. 3. need other modprobes such as ip_raudio 4. flow & programming is elegant but tough for beginners to understand. 5. lastly, no instructions on how to execute - i.e. add to rc.local (I assume that's what you have in mind for startfw) or a more elegant script for /etc/rc.d/init.d which is added via chkconfig to levels 345.
