I hope this question isn't beneath PLUG's members, but I'm still pretty =
newbie. 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.

CJ
