Can't I have /etc/rc.local back?



No. You can never have rc.local back the way it was. But then, it
never really was purely a "local" rc file. To have a real
"local" rc file with just your changes in it, copy this file
into /etc/init.d/rc.local, and ln it to /etc/rc3.d/S99rc.local.
Put your startup stuff in the "start" section. 




#!/sbin/sh


# /etc/init.d/rc.local - to be linked into /etc/rc3.d as


# S99rc.local -- a place to hang local startup stuff.


# started after everything else when going multi-user.





# Ian Darwin, Toronto, November, 1992


# As with all system changes, use at own risk!
