Yeah, you have to do something like

nohup ./rc5des > /dev/null &

the nohup makes sure that when you log out of the console, the program keeps running.  Redirecting to /dev/null keeps the output from appearing on hte console and the & makes the program run in the background and releases your console for use.  

Place this line in an appropriate place in /sbin/init.d/boot.local so it will start up with automagically.
