No, it is something COMPLETELY different. Things in /etc/rcS.d/ are executed at boot time, before any other standard services are running. Normally /etc/rc.local is executed as the LAST thing in the boot process, not the first. >That's how I get a few things like a samba mount, >and fetchmail running. You should do that by placing scripts in /etc/init.d that take a "start" and "stop" argument, and make appropriate links to it with "update-rc.d".
