It would be a good idea to put a call to start the firewallDo I just put "/etc/init.d/firewall start" without the quotes in the
(/etc/init.d/firewall start) in the if-up or ppp connect hooks so
the firewall is (re)started each time the connection is
(re)established.
if-up or is there any certain way that it needs to be worded?
I'm not too familiar with ppp configurations, but I believe that should work fine.
Thanks so much for all your help and for creating the firewall. I didn't like the Shorewall firewall that Mandrake internet sharing wizard kept insisting on using. Hopefully, I can help someone else because of what I've been through.
