10/5 Hello, I used to make my static routes 'permanent' in Redhat 9 by putting the 'route add' command in the rc.local file. But I note that in one machine the route is not automatically added. What could be the reason? The same problem for the firwall script. I have entered the path /etc/rc.d/rc.ipmasq in the rc.local file. The script should have executed to flush the iptable and give it the rules. But now it does not seem to work. I have to run ./ipmasq in rc.d for the firewall after restarting. Please advise. Thanks lot for the support. Menon -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
