I was wondering how to execute /etc/rc.d/rc.sfirewall automaticaly when
my ppp0 connects.
The problem is that when it disconnects, it automatically reconnects,
but i need to load that script to access the internet
any help would be great
thanks
Brian

Assuming you use pppd:
# ln -s /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall /etc/ppp/ip-up

Hi Brian.
Search inside /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2 file for this lines:
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall ]; then
/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall start
fi

Uncomment it and it will work.
You should call the script from rc.inet2 because the script should always
run after all network cards have started (rc.inet1).
Be sure that your script name match with the lines above (rc.firewall) and
you have execution permissions (chmod 755 rc.firewall).
I hope this could help.
