Hi,

For reasons I will not bore you with, I need a very simple masquerading setup. According to the sample firewall config supplied with SuSe 7, my needs can be met by the combination of just two commands : (a) "echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward", (b) "ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -i ppp0"

These commands work just fine when entered from the keyboard. Can anyone tell me where I should put them to have them execute automatically at boot-time ? I tried adding them to boot.local, but they do not appear to execute - masquerading is not available when I put them there.

Thanks in anticipation,

Geoff
