If you've been editing rc.local with gedit, you may find that rc.local is no longer an executable file, and that might account for it not running.
# chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Hi All,
that's very interesting and very annoying too. What should I edit with then, so I don't have backup files created when not needed and don't need to chmod the file, again..?..rediculous..cheers, anyway, Paul.
I just use vi. No doubt others use emacs. It's very useful to be able to use terminal-based editors because (a) they are portable and you can reasonably expect to find them on an Unix-type system you use, (b) they work over slow dial-up links, and (c) they work in a single-user or rescue type environment when there may be no GUI-based editor available.

Hi All,
thanx, Paul...vi is cool..seems very robust...cheers.
