Loading firewall when where.

I'm following a firewall set up that is customized to redhat as always. I need to load my rule set just after my network is up. The install suggest the equivalent of boot.local where in inputted a line after rc.config. What seems to be happening is it is not waiting on rc.config to load before it executes. I'm not familiar with SuSE8.0 config any help would be appreciated.. Rowan Reid Job Captain, Systems Administrator STUDIO 3 ARCHITECTS 909 982 1717
