Oh yeah! Clever stuff! I figured I had just missed something... stupid me
:-) Cheers!
Just tested that out and it seems to work, it didn't start up sshd with my
test config! I had a little problem(?) with rcorder though, I think. I
specified
# REQUIRE: mountcritlocal
and from what I read, I was expecting my script to come up somewhere very
near mountcritlocal, but it actually appeared after sendmail.. which is
miles away. I solved it for now by putting
# BEFORE: ipfilter
aswell, because really I want it always after mountcritlocal. I'm a bit
confused as to why with # REQUIRE: mountcritlocal it was being run so late.
Did I misread something?
Anyway! With the BEFORE line it works great! Exactly how I wanted it!
Thanks alot!!
