[gentoo-user] Boa server depends on net.eth0?

[gentoo-user] Boa server depends on net.eth0?

Hi All,

I am trying to start boa while connected to dial-up (ppp0) and what I am 
getting is this network related error:
================================================================
rc-scripts: WARNING:  boa is scheduled to start when net.eth0 has started
================================================================

Any idea why this is so?  Do I need to change something to let it start up on 
any iface?

What is RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING set to in /etc/conf.d/rc?

RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="no"

Worth noting that I also have ifplugd running.  My ppp0 seems to start and run 
nicely using kppp alone, so I have not configured it in /etc/conf.d/net.  
Could this be related in any way?

  The init script says so.  Do you try "/etc/init.d/boa restart" *AFTER*
connecting via dialup?  Another thing to check is whether you have the
"listen" address hard-coded to your eth0 address in your boa.conf file.

Yes, I did.  The same error comes up.  I see the script but cannot understand 
why only eth0 counts as a net iface.  It may be worth noting that I do not 
have configured ppp0 through /etc/conf.d/net.  Somehow kppp picks it up and 
runs fine.  Could this have something to do with it?

Also, under /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/ I only have:

ls -la /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x 6 root root 0 Nov 19 18:15 .
dr-xr-xr-x 6 root root 0 Nov 19 18:15 ..
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Nov 19 18:15 all
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Nov 19 18:15 default
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Nov 19 18:15 eth0
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Nov 19 18:15 lo

I don't have any other ifaces listed there.  Shouldn't there be more, like 
wlan0, ppp0, etc.?

I do.  It's like so:

Listen 192.168.0.5

but I don't define an iface in the boa.conf file and I don't have 
a /etc/conf.d/boa file.  Any more ideas please?
