Please read the man page for dh_installinit, which you're already using - the file it installs needs to go in debian/init.d or one of a few other places. >there's also a etc/firewall.conf file that is GENERATED after the >install (otherwise it will not find any of the modules in >/etc/firewall-modules/). this is done by typing /etc/rc.firewall >--update-config (rc.firewall is supposed to go in >/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall, but debian doesn't have an rc.d dir, so I put >it in /etc, unless there is a better place?) That sounds like a bad idea. See chapter 3.3 of the Debian Policy Manual for the policy on initialization scripts, assuming rc.firewall is one such. If it isn't, then you should probably put it in /usr/sbin. If you're not sure about where a file should go, the policy manual is the first place you should look. For most things relating to the location of files, it redirects you to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (policy 3.1). >there is also an S11firewall file in the tarball, which I would like >to include. How do I ensure it is installed into /etc/rc2.3 , >/etc/rc3.d and /etc/rc.4d (any others?)? Oh, S11firewall is actually something that calls rc.firewall? Anyway, again, read the docs for dh_installinit, and then probably the man page for update-rc.d. The former should install the file for you if it's put in the right place, and the latter should be called in your package maintainer scripts to set up /etc/rc*.d links correctly. dh_installinit will put appropriate code fragments in these scripts for you, though you may have to poke it a bit to get update-rc.d to do exactly what you want. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
