I tired adding /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall into rc.local...the logs indicate it started to load rc.firewall, but it konked out part way thru and sharing the internet for the rest of the house quit working. Took that entry out of rc.local, rebooted (slap my hands) and then ran /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall from a terminal and all is good again. Stephen, are you refering to linking the two files by ls -s /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall /etc.rc.d/rc.local (may be way off here!) or something like this?

TIA Steve Hi Steve The file permissions look fine and I see that you're running the chkconfig command as root - I can't see why its not working! You can add the script using ksysvinit. If you haven't used ksysvinit before, after starting the program click the Help menu and read the basics there - its not as hard as it looks but be careful not to change anything else. To add the script you will need to place it in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ Perhaps thats why chkconfig isn't working? I guess you could place the script in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ and then try chkconfig --add ... again.

I also have iptables listed in MCC under services, checked to start on boot, but it was not running (going by what MCC showed for status) Could it be I still have to do a chkconfig --add iptables ?
