[CLUE-Tech] Where to put SuSe Portsentry scripts?

[Brandon N]

You can put it in boot.local, but doesn't SuSE use sysV init scripts?

it's best to create a script just for this app in /etc/rc.d/init.d/
ie.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/portsentry
that will then be linked from /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S99portsentry 

then you can just use start|stop options if you want to turn it off
while the system is running.

There is an example at
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/view/intel-2.4.4/ch07-template.html

keep in mind that exact example won't work for you, I think SuSE has
it's own functions, just look at some of the other scripts in
/etc/rc.d/init.d
