[B]trying to use a script from red hat on slakware but need chkconfig to set it up correctly-not there.any ideas Help please.urgent can't use network yet

The line chkconfig shows should look smptin like this: "chkconfig: 2345 20 08" where the first set of numbers are the runlevels it's run in, the second the start priority and third the kill priority.
So in this stupid example in runlevels 2,3,4 and 5 it will be started linking the script with a prefix of "S20" and in the other runlevels it'll be killed linking the script with a prefix of "K08".

So

for l in 2 3 4 5; do ln -s /etc/path/to/main/ipchains.script /etc/path/to/runlevel/S20ipchains.script; done

and

for l in 0 1 6; do ln -s /etc/path/to/main/ipchains.script /etc/path/to/runlevel/K08ipchains.script; done

Btw, IMO this wasn't a security question but more like generic setup, install or basic networking.

thx so much will try to do and repost in other field if i have insurmountable prb

Uhm, well, looking back I see these scripts won't work, here's what it shouldve said:

for l in 2 3 4 5; do ln -s /etc/path/to/main/ipchains.script /etc/path/to/rc$l.d/S20ipchains.script; done

and

for l in 0 1 6; do ln -s /etc/path/to/main/ipchains.script /etc/path/to/rc$l.d/K08ipchains.script; done
