Are the scripts still named ip-up.local and ip-down.local? If so, remove the periods from the file names.
Debian uses a program called run-parts to run the files in these directories, as well most other /etc/something.d collections. According to man run-parts, the file names in such directories must consist entirely of letters, digits, underscores, and hyphens or they will be silently ignored. This way, conf files with names like foo.dpkg-dist, baz.bak, or bar~ do not get executed accidently. HTH your pal dave -- Dave Thayer Denver, Colorado USA [EMAIL PROTECTED]
