The stronger firewall that is listed in the IP-Masq howto works
but gives a strange error as follows:
loran:/home/clay # /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall-2.4

Stronger rc.firewall-2.4 0.73s done.

As shown there are two lines following "Loading OUTPUT rulesets"
that states "/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall-2.4: -d: command not found".
I am not a programmer so do not have a clue as how to solve this
problem. Any help will be appreciated.
