Of course, this would be an issue for when syslog is set to log remotely, unless that laready has some "caching" mechanism to prevent messages being thrown away. > if [ -r "${firewall_script}" ]; then > if [ -f /etc/rc.d/natd ] ; then > /etc/rc.d/natd start > fi > - /bin/sh "${firewall_script}" > + .
