linking rc.firewall

ic_torres · 02-20-2006, 08:09 PM

guys.. isnt that rc.firewall from /etc/rc.d is linked in (i think) /etc/ppp ?

the question is, how can i make the link? wat should i do?

isnt that after a successful link, rc.firewall should be like this:

rc.firewall@

hoping for your help..

Wait a second, what exactly you want to link with? Which file to wich filename? If you want to check the link list it via 'ls -l' and it will show you the path.

Perhaps you could share the solution in this thread so people searching in the future will find both question and answer.

ok here is the answwer to the thread..

since rc.firewall should be linked to /etc/ppp/firewall-standalone,

all you have to do is create a symbolic link from /etc/rc.d (where the rc.firewall will be created) that is to be connected to /etc/ppp/...

1. to do this, go to /etc/rc.d

2. type :

ln /etc/ppp/firewall-standalone /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall (enter)

presto! after typing ls, ur rc.firewall@ will be created..

i hope i made it clear..
