[ale] run at start up

[James P. Kinney III]

Add a symlink to it for each of the runlevels you want it to start in.

Example:
You want it to run for runlevel 3 only

cd /etc/rc.d/rc3.d
ln -s /etc/init.d/ipmasq S45ipmasq

Now the "S" is required for the first letter of the symlink name. It
tells init to "S"tart it. The number is used to put things in a
reasonable order. No point in starting smb until networking is running.
Many firewall scripts are run before the networking is even started to
lock down the box in advance. Often a second is run after the
initialization to finish the routing.

I suspect since this is called "ipmasq" that it has little or no
firewalling. So it could start after the Sxxnetwork init script is run. 

Caveat: If there is a seperate firewall script (firewall, ipchains,
iptables) make sure the ipmasq script doesn't trash the firewall by
flushing all the rules first! (ipchains -F ...)
