What determines the order that things in rc-update (/etc/init.d) start? I run ifplugd, and I notice that (as the title says), ntp-client is starting before net.eth0 and therefore can't find the pool.ntp.org site (of course).
/etc/init.d/ntp-client shows depend() { before cron portmap need net use dns logger } So shouldn't it wait till the network has started and I have an IP address from ifplugd? locutus ~ # rc-update show acpid | boot alsasound | boot default anacron | default apache2 | apmd | aumix | default bluetooth | bootmisc | boot bootsplash | bttrack | checkfs | boot checkroot | boot clock | boot coldplug | default consolefont | boot crypto-loop | cupsd | dbus | default distccd | domainname | default esound | famd | default gkrellmd | gpm | default hdparm | boot hostname | boot hotplug | default i8k | default ifplugd | default inetd | ip6tables | iptables | irda | keymaps | boot kismet | lisa | default local | default nonetwork localmount | boot modules | boot mysql | net.ath0 | net.eth0 | net.eth1 | net.eth2 | net.lo | boot net.ppp0 | net.wlan0 | netmount | default nscd | ntp-client | default ntpd | numlock | pcmcia | boot default portmap | postfix | default pwcheck | reslisa | rgpsp | rmnologin | boot rsyncd | samba | saslauthd | serial | boot shorewall | default spamd | splash | sshd | default switch | syslog-ng | default urandom | boot vixie-cron | default vsftpd | winbind | wlan | xdm | xinetd | default -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
