[fc5] problem with automatic services start on startup

[shrek999]

Hi, i have a problem with fc5.
I have created a folder /etc/rc.d/rc.shrek where i've put start scripts and programs which startup/shutdown diferent services shutdown iptables and changes it into new one. So i have done a symlink "ln -s /etc/ec.d/rc3.d/S97shrek /etc/rc.d/rc.shrek" but after this services placed in rc.shrek do not start automatically while system is starting, but i can do it manually after system start. What to do to make it starting automaticaly while startup?

system is fc5 with text mode only (init3).

please help me or give some suggestion

The system won't execute a folder; you will have to create symlinks to each script. Also make sure they're executable:

chmod +x /path/to/script

I.ve done a litle mess i.ve noticed that inside is ony one script but i've copied it into init.d also. I've done a chmod on it I've done a chmod on symlink and still it is not working its iptables written by my friend he says that this ip tables is great i wanted to check it but i do not want to startup it manually any suggestion?
