We have a clunky old Red Hat 7.3 box here.  When it boots, it does not
run /etc/rc.d/rc.local  This is a big problem because that's where I add
static routes and start services that are dependant upon other hosts in
other subnets! :-)

It's my understanding that rc.local is called by a symlink in the
runlevel directory, and this is in place:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ls -l /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99local
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           11 Nov  9  2002
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99local -> ../rc.local
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ls -l /etc/rc.d/rc.local
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         1450 Dec 20 14:35
/etc/rc.d/rc.local

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# cat /etc/rc.d/rc.local
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.

exit 0;

if [ -f /etc/redhat-release ]; then
    R=$(cat /etc/redhat-release)

    arch=$(uname -m)
    a="a"
    case "_$arch" in
            _a*) a="an";;
            _i*) a="an";;
    esac

    NUMPROC=`egrep -c "^cpu[0-9]+" /proc/stat`
    if [ "$NUMPROC" -gt "1" ]; then
        SMP="$NUMPROC-processor "
        if [ "$NUMPROC" = "8" -o "$NUMPROC" = "11" ]; then
            a="an"
        else
            a="a"
        fi
    fi

    # This will overwrite /etc/issue at every boot.  So, make any
changes you
    # want to make to /etc/issue here or you will lose them when you
reboot.
    echo "" > /etc/issue
    echo "$R" >> /etc/issue
    echo "Kernel $(uname -r) on $a $SMP$(uname -m)" >> /etc/issue

    cp -f /etc/issue /etc/issue.net
    echo >> /etc/issue
fi

/sbin/route add -net 192.168.2.0/24 gw 10.3.3.2
#/etc/init.d/ypbind start
/etc/init.d/ntpd start
/etc/init.d/netfs start
/etc/init.d/nfs start

touch /var/lock/subsys/local



/etc/issue and /var/lock/subsys/local aren't being touched, either.  I
ran it manually, and there were no errors.

Any ideas?
