[gentoo-user] What is starting net.eth1 [not in rc-update]

[gentoo-user] What is starting net.eth1 [not in rc-update]

[Harry Putnam]

I don't have an entry for net.eth1 in rc-update show

I don't have any mention of eth1 in /etc/conf.d/net
(only eth0)

Nonetheless something continues to try to start net.eth1 during boot.
What else controls that?  If its not in rc-update or /etc/conf.d/net
it shouldn't happen.

I have a few other boot problems...I'm not sure where they arise from.

hwclock is meddling about during shutdown.
Again, it isn't shown in rc-update 
and /etc/conf.d/hwclock has this in it:

  # If you want to set the Hardware Clock to the current System Time
  # during shutdown, then say "YES" here.  You normally don't need to
  # do this if you run a ntp daemon.
  clock_systohc="NO"

Still, on a shutdown I can't get past this output:
 
 hwclock waiting for localmount
 (Over and over)

I have to hit a manual reset on the computer to get past 
  hwclock waiting for localmount

Also klogd cannot be stopped by reboot or shutdown.  But at least,
unlike hwclock, after a pause the shutdown proceeds anyway.

1) net.eth1 problem

There is a udev hook for starting net.* init scripts, 
/lib/udev/rules.d/90-network.rules to be precise


2) Openrc problem
I'm asuming here the openrc problems are from a recent upgrade you have 
done and not inslalled the the runlevels required sadly they are not 
done automatically. Have a look in /usr/share/openrc/runlevels these are 
needed for openrc to work copy any that don't exist in /etc/runlevels 
most important are sysinit and shutdown, boot and default are likey to 
be fine

I mentioned it in your other thread. Try masking openrc >=0.4.0.

Hmm, I have the same problem here, but I do have all the directories from 
/usr/share/openrc/runlevels in /etc/runlevels.

Yeah, just got around to reading that with this nudge.

I've masked it and downgraded but haven't rebooted yet.

I'm looking at Ian Lee's posted URL... maybe those guys are on to something.

The script is very brief 
There is no mention of net.eth1 in that script

  SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add",    RUN+="net.sh %k start"
  SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="remove", RUN+="net.sh %k stop"

Further it says not edit this script since it gets overwritten on
update.

Apparently this is not the place to alter what happens at runlevels.

They are all present in /etc/runlevels.

And again I see no reference to net.eth1 or hwclock

that udev rule starts any found network devices on your system net.sh is 
just a  wrapper to the net.* scripts in init.d, if you never use eth1 
then remove net.eth1 from /etc/init.d.

Probably hotplug, add !net.eth0 to rc_hotplug in /etc/rc.conf

It is defiantly in hotplug, I have the same thing happen on my gentoo box
with dual gigabit net.  There is a way to stop it from starting but I do not
remember off the top of my head and cant't look quick as I am away from that
box atm on vacation.  Should be something on the wiki that will tell you how
to turn it off.

That's one of the drawbacks of top posting, it does not
encourage you to look at the mail you are quoting, thus not noticing that
it contains the answer to the question you are posing :(

It moved in the switch from baselayout1 to baselayout2/openrc.

try putting rc_coldplug="no" in conf.d/udev or /etc/rc.conf  i would

I've masked 
   >=sys-apps/openrc-0.4.0

and downlgraded to 
  sys-apps/openrc (0.3.0-r1@12/28/08)

Bootup seems normal except for the fact that something is still trying
to start eth1.

Other things seem to have started normally and no hwclock on shutdown.

So why are there entities beyond /etc/conf.d/net and the controls used
in rc-udpate that can even start things in /etc/init.d?

Aren't those two controls the time honored places to handle that sort
of stuff?

What else is capable of attempting to start services?  Have I been
hacked (.. hehe)

I can tell you from trying that just now... that is not a good
solution.

First setting rc_coldplug="no" has some very bad effects:
1) caused my KVM switch setup to be ignored completely, where as with
   with the default "yes"  the kvm is recognized soon as I get past
   grub

2) Very strange behavior with the `screen' tool.  I call screen and
   get started but if I do `C-a c' (which should start another screen)
   Instead it prompts me to login and then takes the original screen
   so I can only get one screen, completely defeating the purpose of
   `screen'. 


I'm also wondering about the wisdom introduciing some esoteric places
to control services.  If someone needs sophisticated controls they can
set that up, but for the rest of us  /etc/conf.d and rc-update should
be THE central tools to have basic services started at boot.

There should be nothing scrolling thru the network softlinks
attempting to start anything it finds.

Well that kind of sucks.  I don't use eth1 often but I do want it in
/etc/init.d.

I'm wondering how wise it is to have tools other than re-update and
/etc/conf.d dinking around with basic services.  It seems like starting
an unwanted ethernet device could even have serious security problems.

Having to remove it from /etc/init.d doesn't sound like a very good
solution either.

If you check mine and Neils post, one of ours will do just what you want
and still allow you to have hotplug set to yes.  It just tells hotplug
not to start networks itself and leave it to your own settings with
rc-update.  There may also be other things that you can set in there as
well.

I believe this is when rc_coldplug="yes" and rc_plug_services="!*" is
useful. You enable to coldplugging of modules (and thus drive your
kvm) but not start the various services. 

I have rc_plug_services="!net.*" on my laptop.

According to the comments hotplugging of services is not allowed by 
default, so why do the net.* services get started?

Because it does start them unless that line is in the correct file.  I
ran into this a good while back and had to add that line to mine as
well.  Some of my cards are not even connected to anything and during
boot up it would wait until it timed out before going to the next one. 
I have three cards so that got on my nerves to say the least.  I think
it was set to timeout=forever or timeout=until-dale-is-pissed.  o_O

I would try it and just see if it helps.  If not, nothing lost right?

That's why you would disable hotplugging for network devices in such a
situation, as described much earlier in this thread,
