Almost... but this invites an infinite loop. Why not just create /etc/init.d/pppoe and order it in the startup process so that it runs before the firewall rules? Look at the other files in /etc/init.d and see how they use "RCDLINKS=" and add one of these lines to /etc/init.d/pppoe so that pppoe is ordered after the network is loaded but before the firewall. Also, make sure that the script understands parameters: start: start PPPoE stop: stop PPPoE restart <if needed>: stop, pause if needed, start <nothing>: usage The other files in /etc/init.d should help you understand this better. -- David Douthitt UNIX Systems Administrator HP-UX, Linux, Unixware [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
