Hello all, This is the situation I use a script for my firewall and routing and a link was added in /etc/init.d/rc5.d/ to start the script whenever the PC is rebooted.. here is the problem when the script did not start, I became root and I look in the rc5.d directory to see if I forget to add the script in my last installation but when I try ls -l the scrip link was not there and when I quit the what I got is listed below...it seems that there are a few files I cannot list because of "Permission denied" can someone help to understan what happen ... what can be the root of this. Thanks for the help. gatekeeper:/etc/init.d/rc5.d # ls -l | less ls: K15xfs: Permission denied ls: K12mysql: Permission denied ls: K22personal-firewall.initial: Permission denied ls: S08xfs: Permission denied ls: K15snmpd: Permission denied ls: S21apache: Permission denied ls: S22personal-firewall.final: Permission denied ls: S21iptable_script: Permission denied ls: S21alsasound: Permission denied ls: K15sshd: Permission denied ls: K02apache: Permission denied ls: K01personal-firewall.final: Permission denied ls: S01personal-firewall.initial: Permission denied ls: K02alsasound: Permission denied ls: S08snmpd: Permission denied ls: S11mysql: Permission denied -- What we need is awareness
