[gentoo-user] net.eth0 startup

I have weird behavior with my net.eth0 service.

I don't want it to start up by default, so I did the usual rc-update del
net.eth0 default and rc-update del net.eth0

it's not listed as a startup service, but still insists on starting up when
my computer starts up.


Does anyone know if something changed in how gentoo handles interfaces?

This could be because of some dependency shit.

E.g. Apache needs to start up a network interface, or sshd, and such  
things.

Set RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.*" in /etc/conf.d/rc

This happens because of a feature called device initiated services. It
changed a while back, gmane revealed a topic about this a couple of
months ago:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/177287/focus=177289

Check /etc/conf.d/rc, read the comments, you may want to add:

RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.*"

To this file.
