It is the init logs in stdout that says that.
I understand your point, however like I wrote in my previous mail: From the documentation: "Should-Start: boot_facility_1 [boot_facility_2...] defines the facilities that if present should start before the service provided by the script. Nevertheless, the script can still start if the listed facilities are missing." Are you sure you have a service installed that provide the mail-transport-agent facility? If you do from my understanding this shouldn't happen. You now mentioned that you are using postfix, I will look into the postfix package and see if I find anything that should prevent it. Thanks for your additional input. Cheers Nico -- Nico Golde - http://www.ngolde.de - n...@jabber.ccc.de - GPG: 0xA0A0AAAA For security reasons, all text in this mail is double-rot13 encrypted.
