Hi,

Trying to get a boot script to work in SUSE Linux 10.2. It works in Fedora 6 (under /etc/rc.d/rc.local) . Here's what it looks like, and I installed it in /etc/init.d/boot.local. Anyone see why it would not work?

The script works under root, if I open it manually, but it doesn't work automatically at boot, nor does the script work in any other user other than root. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
Alan

ipx_interface delall
ipx_interface add -p eth0 802.2
#ipx_interface add -p eth0 802.3
ipx_configure --auto_interface=on --auto_primary=on
ipx_interface check eth0 802.2
#ipx_interface check eth0 802.3
ncpmount -S server2 -U admin -P password /server2

For openSUSE follow the /etc/rc.d/skeleton example.

Sorry, I'm just a in this, even though I have experience in other areas. The file doesn't make much sense to me. Which are, in particular, should I be looking at and how should I modify it?

Thanks
Alan
