allow incoming connections without netfirc [SOLVED]

[spykyvenator]

Hey,

I recently switched from init system to sinit, and removed netifrc from my openrc use flags to make it lighter.
However, at the moment my pc no longer accepts incomming connections, for example when I try to mount my nfs drive, ssh or host a xonotic lan match no one can connect to the server.

This is because of netifrc, I just reinstalled this and did a reboot and tested ssh.

How can I make this work without netifrc?

I would like to replace openrc with a different service manager and would like to know how to set this up.

/etc/init.d/net.lo is quite lenghty and as far as I can tell my /etc/conf.d/net does the same as my startup script:

I am not familiar to sinit and from online reading it is not clear how it call service script. So can you give some idea how your network script got called?

Since sinit just a simple init program with minimal features I see no conflict with netifrc, why not setup sinit call netiffc to start network interface? I know you wish to not use netifrc, this question is just help me to understand where the difference in your approach. since I see no information on service dependency so I wonder if it possible that interface was brought up later than network services. So therefor nothing can listen for request.

Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but maybe it'll give you some hints/ideas : https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Network_management_using_DHCPCD

So sinit runs a simple bash script in /bin/rc.init that performs all of openrc's duties (like starting dhcpd, mounting filesystems etc)

I didn't think about simply calling netifrc , thanks for pointing that out. Instead at the moment I have
