How can I start apps that require root priviledges from bootlocal.sh -file. I would like to run pon dsl-provider, sshd and some wine related stuff at boot, but dont know how to do that. I have added the lines to the bootlocal.sh, but getting errors due to permission restrictions.

are you sure the errors are permissions-related? /opt/bootlocal.sh is run by root during startup, so it should do anything you put in that file

Sure about that, but what I really mean is that how can I set the login to automatically be root at startup. Or have I understood totally wrong. I run server and want it to be totally automatic, so if I boot it remotely it will start all the necessary apps at boot.

Use the "2" boot option to log in as root without X auto-starting. This is probably the ideal way for a server.
