You can write a simple start-up script that does that for you. Here's
what I have in /usr/local/etc/rc.d:
#!/bin/sh
PORTSENTRY="/usr/local/bin/portsentry"
case "$1" in
start)
${PORTSENTRY} -tcp && echo " PortSentry starting in TCP
mode..."
${PORTSENTRY} -udp && echo " PortSentry starting in UDP
mode..."
;;
stop)
killall `basename ${PORTSENTRY}`
;;
*)
echo ""
echo "Usage: `basename $0` { start | stop }"
echo ""
;;
esac
As far as I know, portsentry doesn't come with one, so you can just
write a nice short script like the one above, if you like. Make sure
though, to make it executable before rebooting.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Stacey
