I have tried putting it in the /etc/init.d/boot.local, but I think this comes up very last. Thanks Stu I'm using SUSE 9 pro but also have PortSentry 1.1.1 tightly configured and running on the firewall so I load my script rather late as follows: ln -s /etc/init.d/iptables /etc/init.d/rc3.d/S01iptables ln -s /etc/init.d/iptables /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S01iptables $CHKCONFIG --level 35 iptables on This works well for me.
