To help folks fix this it is valuable to illuminate the permissions
and ownership.  If you have not done the above or fixed the problem
try:

    id
    ls -l /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall-2.4-stronger
    chown root:root /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall-2.4-stronger
    chmod 750 /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall-2.4-stronger

The goal is to:

    discover the current user id (id)		[Safe -- only looking}
    check the permissions and owner (ls -l)	[Safe -- only looking}
    set the ownership and group of the file (chown)  [changes things]
    set the permissions of the file (chmod)	[changes things}

By capturing and reporting the results 85% of what the package owner
needs to see is visible if the install process is setting the
ownership or permissions incorrectly.
