As the tags show, its a snippet of a larger script with more rules for allowing other services thru the box. I have set things up this way: # ls -l /etc/init.d/fire.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1321 Aug 10 19:51 /etc/init.d/fire.sh /etc/init.d/fire.sh calls the following scripts according to $1 it is passed. ("start" or "stop"...) # ls -l /etc/ppp/firewall*.sh -rwxr-xr-- 1 root root 278 Aug 9 21:50 /etc/ppp/firewall_off.sh -rwxr-xr-- 1 root root 5224 Aug 15 21:25 /etc/ppp/firewall_on.sh The snippet I posted was from firewall_on.sh. I ran update-rc.d for creating appropriate SysV links. # zless /etc/init.d/README /usr/doc/sysvinit/README.runlevels.gz for more infos. > (Nice footer, BTW.) :) Sven -- I can't be wrong, my modem's got error-correction.
