iptables twice?
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

No, you cannot wait for X in bootlocal.sh, as this runs before the user is logged in.

Well, see, that's what I get for posting without actually trying it first. I typically include the caveat, "I haven't tried this ..." but I was lazy. It does work, however, if you change waitforX to: su -c "/usr/bin/waitforX" tc. :)

I'd not seen anyone examine methods for starting X quicker, though, so I found this topic interesting.
