[SLE] Dial On Demand and /etc/rc.config.d/firewall
Now that I got Dial On Demand (/sbin/init.d/wvdial.dod) with the 1.41-67 version of wvdial.rpm; working on my SuSE 6.4:kernel 2.2.16 box running. I still have to manually run the final pass of '/sbin/init.d/firewall start' to get the firewall script to turn on ipchains for the newly establised IP address given to the firewall box from the ISP. If I don't run '/sbin/init.d/firewall start' after the pppd daemon dials, then all of my internal LAN clients can't get out to the open internet. What is the way to have '/sbin/init.d/wvdial.dod' and pppd kick off '/sbin/init.d/firewall' after every ISP connection triggered by an internal LAN client? I am in the process of reading the 100's of pages of IPCHAIN-HOWTO, FIREWALL-HOWTO; however it would be greatly appreciated if someone has already crossed this chasm.

I am using /etc/ppp/ip-up.local for this purpose. In my case it contains: #!/bin/sh /sbin/SuSEfirewall start /usr/bin/fetchmail -d 300 -a -L /var/log/fetchmail When connection is gone, ip-down.local does the cleaning: #!/bin/sh /sbin/SuSEfirewall stop /usr/bin/fetchmail -quit HTH, Kastus On Fri, 8 Sep 2000, John P.

Check out the /etc/rc.config.d/firewall file. It contains very useful info at the begining of the file, which says to add /sbin/SuSEfirewall to the second line of /etc/ppp/ip-up. "John P. Griffin" wrote:
