Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Devil Linux 1.2 doesn't load firewall rules at startup.

[Paolo S. <pao...@gm...>]

  I checked the symlinks as you have suggested and they were all ok apparently. But the problem continued.
So i decided to look at the DL console during system reboot and i saw that the firewall service stopped because it 
didn't find tun0 interface defined in VPN Service.
The problem is that Firewall Service starts before VPN Service. I corrected the problem, changing the start up order.
I changed symlink K17firewall to K99firewall and S06firewall to S99firewall in /etc/init.d/rc3.d and /etc/init.d/rc5.d; 
so Firewall service should be the last one to be started up.
I made a test, rebooting the system and all was ok.

Thank you Heiko.

Kind  regards,

Paolo.
