Yes I'm afraid. > runlevel "S" is initialized on bootup, before entering other > runlevels. There is rcS.d/S41ferm. OK. I just know that after bootup "iptables -L -v" showed empty rules. However it worked well after I reorganized sylinks. Have you any idea why this happened? :-) Actually I have no machine with ferm that I may reboot. (All of them are in production.) Could you insert some diagnostic code into the startup script and test it? I mean something like this: date >> /var/log/ferm.init.log echo -n "Runs as $0 $@ at runlevel " >> /var/log/ferm.init.log who -r >> /var/log/ferm.init.log Regards Gabor -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
