[GRLUG] emergency

[David Pembrook]

The cheep and dirty solution if your on a redhat/fedora setup would be 
to add the command to your /etc/rc.local file so its executed last on 
boot. I end up using that type of fix to add network routes for vpn as 
its easier than the right way which someone on here will point out given 
enough time.

One problem with doing it in the rc.local is you would be vulnerable 
during the bootup from the time your network card(s) are active till the 
end of the boot. Small window but...
