Thanks. I just learned something about run levels. Could this be why my browser times out and I can't send email: I see these errors in /var/log/messages "pppd[288]: Received bad configure-nak/rej: 12 06 00 00 00 01" "pppd[401]: Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP" "pppd[401]: CCP: timeout sending Config-Requests" What do I need to do to fix these errors? I think I'm getting out thru the firewall cause I see it says "Website found" and displays the IP address but sits there "waiting for reply" Thanks again, jrh -----Original Message----- From: Tim Duggan [mailto:tduggan@dekaresearch.com] Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2000 9:26 AM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: RE: [SLE] Firewall/Masq box Hi, -----Original Message----- From: Jim Hoepner [SMTP:jhoepner@tvsw.org] Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2000 10:19 AM
When I was working on IPCHAINS (a couple of weeks ago) I created (I was following some HowTo - not sure which one) a /sbin/init.d/packetfilter script to setup my IPCHAINS and made a symbolic link to /etc/rc.d/rcS.d/S39packetfilter. I was seeing that this script was never being accessed on bootup. I forgot about it until today when I I tried (for the first time ever) to enter LILO boot: linux single
I noticed that when booting it accessed my packetfilter script.
Can anyone tell me why this made a difference?
Sure, You only set the symlink in that runlevel. You will notice there are other directories all having the form rc<X>.d. The <X> indicates the runlevel, S (single), 2 (console default), 3 (X default), etc. Also note that /etc/rc.d is also a symlink. Tim
Thanks! jrh
