[gentoo-user] hotplug/coldplug/init-script - net.eth0 is on when I don't want it on

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   For some reason my son's machine has started turning on net.eth0
recently. For the last few days it seems to turn on when he boots even
though I'm not enabling it in rc-update. Granted, I was lazy and made
them both 192.168.1.59 so that I wouldn't have any trouble finding him
no matter which interface he was using, but what is starting net.eth0
if it's not enabled in rc-update? Is this coldplug or hotplug?

   Everything works fine when I just shut off net.eth0 by hand but I'm
sure I shouldn't have to do that.

   How can I keep net.eth0 off unless I turn it on by hand? I am not
loading forcedeth explicitly but it's getting loaded anyway.

Thanks,
Mark

See the RC_PLUG_SERVICES section of /etc/conf.d/rc

The truth shall make you free, but first it shall piss you off.

Set the following variable in /etc/conf.d/rc:

  RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.*"

This will disable hotplugging for all network interfaces. If you only
want to disable hotplugging for net.eth0, use the following:

  RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.eth0"

Remy & Neil,
   Thanks very much. This looks like exactly what I need.

With best regards,
