That was what I meant. And is what I have.

BTDT. All of them, without fail, get reset about half way through the boot
up process.
RedHat 6 {or was it 5.2?} did similar - I wonder if it's the same cause -
which I can't remember anyway!

The commentary in that file indicates it runs after bootup, but _before_
you switch to your final run level.
Is this the case? If so, it's not what I want. I want something which runs
just before the getty's spawn, and you get a login prompt - after
everything else has started.
rc.local did that under dead rat, but I don't know if boot.local does it
under SuSE.
