Howdy --

This all works fine in SuSE 9.1, but in SuSE 9.3 my firewall doesn't start 
on reboot. I believe I have the right sym links in /etc/rc.d/rc5.d, and my 
runlevel is 5, and when I manually start and stop everything works great 
(it's building iptables rules, so "iptables -L" is empty when I "firewall 
stop" and full of happy stuff when I "firewall start")...

Anyone know why this isn't starting on reboot? I don't see any log 
anywhere of what SuSE is or isn't doing with the runlevel stuff in 
/etc/rc.d/... Where does the boot log live?

Thanks,

Jay Hannah
