Basically, copy the script to /etc/init.d/, name it "fw", "firewall" or something you like and then run update-rc.d over it. update-rc.d creates the symbolic links from /etc/rc.d/rc[0-6S]/ to the actual script, which should be placed in /etc/init.d/. That's how I did it, anyway. Be sure to check out the mentioned docs. HTH Sven
