ok... I created the file at /etc/init.d/rc.firewall, now why would I create a sym link (forgive my ignorance), my understanding is that a sym link is the sort of the equivilant of a shortcut in windows. Shouldn't I just add a line to a script that is run at startup so that the above gets run? Or if being everything in that folder gets executed at start up then my not just put /etc/init.d/rc.firewall in/etc/rc2.d/rc.firewall? ------------------------- Robert James Wultsch III robert.wultsch@asu.edu sheepsleep7 (AIM) (480)951-3169 (Home) (602)692-7564 (Cell) 6900 East Gold Dust #107 Scottsdale, Arizona 85253, USA Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
