 Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2007 9:17 pm Post subject: weird init.d startup problem for dovecot |
 |
|
dear experts---I have a real strange problem. dovecot is in rc default, but it is not being started by init. Instead, I have to handstart it after login (/etc/init.d/dovecot start), which works like a charm. Is there a way to diagnose why init did not succeed in starting dovecot? ('dmesg | grep dovecot' is of course nothing. default startups do not seem to be logged.) help appreciated.
regards,
/iaw

More than likely dovecot is starting before net.eth0 since it is in the default runlevel as well.
As a general practice I always add my network cards to the boot runlevel.
rc-update del net.eth0
rc-update add net.eth0 boot
