[gentoo-user] Openswans IPSEC starting before net

[tdrueke]

Hi,

I installed openswan recently to connect to my IPCOP based router via
VPN over an Netgear WPN311 WLAN card. According to some documentation I
found I added also "ipsec-tools" though it seems that this is not
necessary (setup of different PC without them and everything works
fine).

The problem now is that the IPSEC service is started before NET service
is up and running. That way IPSEC does not setup the VPN tunnel to the
router. I always need to perform the IPSEC startup by hand (or in
rc.local). 

As I stated above setting up a PC without ipsec-tools packakge installed
leads to correct behaviour (IPSEC started after NET).

1. Has anybody seen this before ? Is there a way to alter the startup
order ?

2. How can I debug the decision process which determines the startup
order of the services ? I already checked "/var/lib/init.d/deptree".
But from that file everything seems to be alright (NET is precondition
to run IPSEC).

Thomas
