Another thing to consider is, do the services we say "need net" really _NEED_ net? If a service is a listener like sshd that isn't bound to a specific address by default and can deal with interfaces going up and down, I would guess that it doesn't. I am thinking that we can set up the depends for sshd as follows: use net after net That would make sure a net provider runs before sshd if one is in the runlevel, but allow sshd to start if one is not as well. This would have to be tested on a case-by-case basis. About changing default values, I think that if we have a good reason to change them, we should inform users and change them. I think the advantage here is that it makes openrc run out of the box in more situations. William
