Dima,
You are not being patronizing. Yes, rc.firewall is
interpreted by sh. The first line is: #!/bin/sh.
Since I sent the original post I have tried sourcing
rc.firewall (. rc.firewall), executing the results of
the command, ls rc.firewall, (`ls rc.firewall`) and
also sourcing the results of ls rc.firewall (. `ls
rc.firewall`). I have added a script to my /etc/rc.d
directory named "foo" run with /bin/sh in which it
echos "THIS IS FOO", then does "ls rc.firewall" then
executes rc.firewall. It does everything correctly but
does not execute rc.firewall. I copied rc.firewall to
just plain "firewall". It All give the same results:
"ksh: rc.firewall: not found" or some variation!!!
Then, when in the /etc/rc.d directory, I give the
command "which rc.firewall" it gives me back
"/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall"!!! I have made sure that . is
in my path, I changed the permissions on the /etc/rc.d
directory to 777. I used the sh shell and then
executed rc.firewall. Nothing works! There's got to be
someting really stupid I'm (not) doing.
Any ideas?
Thanks for reading this tirade ;-)
