Sure. It wants ./rc.firewall and can't find it.
My guess is, it isn't working in the directory you want it to. You'll
likely need to either have the script 'cd' to proper directory before
trying to find the file, or add the entire path instead of './' since that
seems to be where the problem lies.
If './' is $HOME, add either $HOME/rc.firewall or ~/rc.firewall or
/home/<username>/rc.firewall. If it's in /etc/rc.d/init.d or
/etc/rc.d/rc?.d just add the entire path.
Or, as stated, you can have the script 'cd' to the right directory and then
run it as it's looking for it ('./').
