You need to set a custom security level (preferred) or reduce your security level. custom levels can be defined using /usr/share/msec/custom.sh > On another topic: I put some stuff in my rc.local file that is not > executing upon bootup.

There should be a symlink /etc/rc.d/rc[2-5].d/S99local which points to it.

How is this turned off? On another topic: I put some stuff in my rc.local file that is not executing upon bootup. In fact, I don't think -any- of my rc.local is executing, because when I run it manually, my "mods" work fine. What script calls this file? Bob
