[gentoo-hardened] How openrc check the state of services?

["Tóth Attila"]

Just switched to openrc + baselayout2.
Using grsecurity RBAC.

During the shutdown process I see endless countdowns for each service
waiting for others. It is obvious, that something prevents the rc system
to detect if a service is stopped or not.

I have to insert a rule for a binary. The question is that which binary
checks dependent services running and what it tries to do?

Anyone have a clue?

Thx:
Dw.

It is the /sbin/rc binary which uses the information in /lib64/rc/init.d (a
tmpfs mount). The tmpfs location has directories like "started" in which
symlinks exist to the files in /etc/init.d.
