Well, if you're getting a permissions error as root, there are more serious problems. Running just "/etc/init.d/firewall" as root should simply give you the usage instructions. There's nothing there that should generate a permissions error. Additionally, as root, there's little you shouldn't have permission to do (if anything). Specifically, it should only try to source the firewall.conf file and then echo the usage instructions: + . /etc/firewall.conf + echo 'Usage: /etc/init.d/firewall (start|stop|restart|log|status|panic|debug|panic-debug)' + exit 1 The above lines are all that should execute (the parts after the + symbol). If you're getting a permissions error, I suspect that something is wrong with your firewall.conf file. Could you please provide a copy of it as an attachment. > the route print and the ipconfig /all on the windows machine all This seems to be somewhat incomplete. -- Jamin W. Collins
