First off I like your distro, it's simple and only has what I need, not too much bloat. I was looking to expand the system once installed to perform as a firewall/router for my home network. I want the system to share files as it already does and act as a local web server, as it also already does. In addition to these I would like it to perform as a dhcp server and masquerade for the local network to share the Internet connection. I can figure out how to generate a file from the Easy Firewall Generator but I'm not sure where to put it on a Slackware system. Also how to implement the script at boot time. Could you direct me to a simple howto, I seen and read so many and all have differences here and there.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

You can save the output of IPTables firewall generator as rc.firewall in
/etc/rc.d/ so you will have /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall script.
make it executable with
Code:
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall
rc.firewall will automatically loaded at startup.
to stop the rc.firewal script do
Code:
/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall stop
To prevent from loading at startup do
Code:
chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall
If you have problem saving the output of EFG and get an error upon execution of /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall try this script:
