+Ferm comes with a systemd unit file that can be used to run ferm on a predefined
+configuration file (/etc/ferm.conf) at boot to automatically setup the firewall.
+
+A simple rc.d script is being provided with this package that mimics what the
+unit file does. If you want to automatically run ferm at boot and stop it at
+shutdown, make sure you create the /etc/ferm.conf file and:
+
+chmod 0755 /etc/rc.d/rc.ferm
+cat >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local <<EOF
+if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.ferm ]
+then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.ferm start
+fi
+
+EOF
+cat >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown <<EOF
+if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.ferm ]
+then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.ferm stop
+fi
+
+EOF
