For almost an exact equivalent you could create a file in /etc/init.d and call it local. Then with your favorite editor you could put in whatever commands you want. Then you could issue the command: update-rc.d local start 99 2 3 4 5 . stop 20 2 3 4 5 . Pay attention to the output from update-rc.d. Remember to include the periods in the above command--presumably they tell the update-rc.d program when the start and stop actions end. :Now, I would strongly discourage putting firewall commands in rc.local. You want your firewall to execute before your eth0 or whatever comes up. So, go cd /etc. mkdir firewall cp your_firewall_script /etc/firewall cd /etc/init.d ln -s /etc/firewall/your_firewall_script firewall update-rc.d firewall start 07 2 3 4 5 . stop 90 2 3 4 5 . Notice the low sequence number for starting. Hope this helps.
