There are two ways an interface can be started, through the init scripts or through hotplug. The RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING deals with how others services, that require a network connection, work. > The workaround therefore is to set RC_PLUG_SERVICES=3D"!net.*" in > /etc/conf.d/rc. This isn't a workaround, it is the correct solution. If you don't want your network interfaces, or anything else, started by hotplug, this is the correct place to disable it. A package offering more flexible configuration options doesn't make it suck, IMO. you complain about Ubuntu and SUSE doing things automatically, then complain about Gentoo increasing your choices. --=20 Neil Bothwick --Sig_a0MNC1jxpm9iDtEu7X66+gU Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFF5Zium4al0N1GQMRAn81AKCLI8saOIMGyskOmHQxUcLNWZJgPgCfdKaY nn0MyNjIkiw30m1aWM3MONc= =kIdv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_a0MNC1jxpm9iDtEu7X66+gU-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
