Hi again, I have my RH 6.2 machine reinstalled, all scripts restored and all updates applied. I have what I think is a workable firewall script. Now, what I cannot figure out is where can I insert a line of code that will call my firewall script everytime pppd opens up a new connection. I have looked in numerous books and man pages. I do not see how I can call if from the connection chat script. I do not yet understand enough of the relationship or when's of the scripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts to know if there is one that will fire everytime the ppp0 interface is again opened. Can someone clue me on on the script sequence or suggest another script file that will be read each time the connection ppp0 is initialized. Is there a particularly good book available that will explain this sequence of events so I can won't have to post such low level messages to the list? Thanks, as always Bob -- Bob Hartung www.radiologygrouppc.com www.qchealthwatch.com _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
