I'm running the 2.4.0 kernel on Slackware 7.1. I'm trying to set = up iptables as a firewall and have compiled all the modules into the = kernel. I have a pretty good script (got it off the Web), but I can't = figure out how to get it to run. If I type all the commands in the = shell, they work fine, but when I reboot for any reason, they're gone; = obviously, iptables works just fine. Slackware uses /etc/rc.d/rc.local = to run scripts just before or after going multiuser so I'd only be = exposed fo a few seconds and have no other services (that I'm aware of) = running; I've already shut down everything in inetd.conf. That being = said, I don't know how to shell script in rc.local so I can call up my = firewall script. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
