Although I did get IP masquerading working last night, none of the lines I've added to the rc.local file seem to be executed.

When I reboot the computer I must type in these lines manually to get them to work. Any ideas why? Is there another file which specifies which scripts are run? Is there another initialization file that I should be using instead of '/etc/rc.d/rc.local'? I'm not exactly clear about your problem. Do the first two entries pertaining to ls work but not the ipfwadm entries? In that case I would suspect a path or permission problem. Do the ipfwadm entries have a full path to the executable? If nothing you added works then probably rc.local isn't being called. I don't remember exactly, but I think it is called by rc.M. The relevant line may be commented out. You could find where is it called pretty quick with something like $grep rc.local /etc/rc.d/rc.* -- Bud Rogers [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sirinet.net/~budr/zamm.html formerly [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For daily digest info, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For daily digest info, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [masq] Which distribution for LRP / IP Masq projects?
Which distribution to go with, is I believe, a matter of personal taste. I have worked with two personally, Slackware and Red Hat. The version of Slackware I had was a bit older, but overall I like Red Hat better. Red Hat 5.0 comes with many of the kernel modules already created and compiled and seems to me to be more user friendly than Slackware... That's my 2 cents... --- Joe Duncan Systems Human Resources Development Canada (613)997-7986 [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- - Original Text From: "John Schmerold" [EMAIL PROTECTED], on 27/08/98 5:29 pm: We all have projects we're working on at one time or another.

[masq] ICQ Chat (was: Problem with rc.local)
Ok, I've solved the rc.local problem, my system works fine, and seeing as how the list seems to have been inundated with off-topic postings on the subject I'd ask that we kill that thread.

You can get 100% functionality without that. Forward a set of ports to the machine you intend to run ICQ on (assuming you have a simple setup where it's mainly to be run from 1 machine behind the masq). Then set ICQ up to go through a firewall using those specific ports.

Re: [masq] Problem with rc.local
Actually these are two seperate problems... 1) You are attempting to execute ipfwadm during the boot process from within rc.local. While there is nothing wrong with this, the full path to the program MUST be specified. Normally this shell script gets executed BEFORE search paths are set... just change it to /sbin/ipfwadm... etc. 2) The alias only works for the specific shell you are using... Do not put this command in rc.local but rather in .bashrc or /etc/profile. -JMS [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Joe Duncan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thursday, August 27, 1998 2:41 PM Subject: Re: [masq] Problem with rc.local the lines are: alias ls='ls --color=auto' alias dir='ls' ipfwadmyadda yadda i forget exaclty ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.0.0/24 -S 0.0.0.0/0 So no, none of them have qualified paths and none of them are executed.
