I just went and editted /etc/init.d/networking and after the ifup -a line I added /usr/local/bin/dns2go & and it worked ok. I don't know if that is the best way and if there is a better way to make a program run in debian when the network starts please let me know. I am also wanting to know how to make a command execicute just before login like in redhat /etc/rc.d/rc.local would do this put debian does not use it. How can I write a shell script with the commands to run just before login starts such as removing .bash_history for all users and what command would do that the quickest way?
