However, I have thus far used it by calling it with a pre-up line in the stanza for my eth0: pre-up /etc/myfirewall/firewall.sh restartYou added that line to /etc/network/interfaces, right? Does it matter just where you put it in the script? Patrick
Yes, it does. You need to put that line in the stanza corresponding to the interface you want to bring up the firewall with. For example, if you want to execute the script right before eth0 is brought up, then you will need to put the line in the eth0 stanza:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
pre-up /etc/firewall-hs/fw-masq.sh restart
The line beginning with "pre-up" means to execute the following command
before the current interface (in whose stanza the line is) is brought up.
