Greetings, I'm again planning the setup of a gateway here at the Balogna Capitol, much to the wonderment of a few. Prelim's are done, ie: static ip, registering in the portal, etc. Now I'm back to a place I've been before, automating the startup, and configuration. Something I'm surprised we haven't overcome with a gui by now, and unfortunately way above my pay scale.:) I did have this working before, so I'm hoping with little changes I'll have the init.d scripts and all updated. I'll certainly make them available, maybe on the wiki when I'm done. I realize that it will take changes to make them work on other distros. Maybe it's time to see what the commonalities are, in hopes of developing a standard config tool. I'd certainly like to take this off list till there is something worth showing. Anyone interested? Best regards, Willie, WJ3G
