 |
|
Following the udev tutorial in Linux Format #66, I got my eth0 interface renamed to "lan" about a week and a half ago. A few days ago I upgraded my motherboard, so introduced new devices and had to rebuild the kernel to support new hardware. Somewhere in there, the network initialization script started getting called at the very end, after startup of the font server and just before the login prompt appears. This is making some daemons (postfix, dhcpd) very unhappy, such that they die before I even get logged in. How can I get /etc/init.d/net.lan to run at the same point /etc/init.d/net.eth0 used to?

| Code: | | rc-update add /etc/init.d/net.lan boot |
The above should help you, have a look at:
to see what level everything is booting up at currently.
*re-reads question* ok to make sure that "/etc/init.d/net.lan" boots up early have a look at the code section below dragged from one of my network init files:
| Code: | depend() {
need bridge
use hotplug pcmcia
provide bridge0
}
|
the "provide <your variable>" bit is what you want - call it "lan" if that makes sense to you. Then make sure that postfix, dhcpd etc have a corresponding section in their init script that says "need lan". This way when they start to launch, lan will be launched first as its required by them.
Hopefully that makes sense  |

D'oh! I had it starting in default instead of boot! I fixed that, so I'll monitor it closely the next time I reboot. Hopefully that will fix it without having to mess with the depend/provide settings.
Thanks!
