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.
