Since rc.masq might not be launched by root, this is probably a permission
problem. Try setting the perms for rc.masq the same as they are for
rc.local.
This will likely solve the problem.

Subject: [newbie] rc.local doesn't work
Hello,
I have set up a file /etc/rc.d/rc.masq. In order to start it
automatically on boot, I've added the following line to
/etc/rc.d/rc.local:
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.masq ]; then /etc/rc.d/rc.masq fi
When I start, masquarading does not work. I need to start rc.masq
manually in order to get it work.
What is wrong?
These are the two files in /etc/rc.d:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1246 May 26 12:11 rc.local*
-rwx------ 1 root root 550 May 26 12:53 rc.masq*
Thanks a lot for your help!
Regards,
Claus.
