Hi,

portsentry has a dependency on $all which in 99% of the cases is incorrect.
By depending on $all, no other init script can depend on portsentry, possibly 
preventing the other script from working properly.

Please fix the dependencies.

P.S. this is a release goal and should be fixed ASAP.

Hi Raphael,

I'm closing this bug because I consider 'portsentry' software should start as 
latest as possible.

All services should be already started before 'portsentry' starts, if not, 
their will not be able to
bind on their respective ports.


As an example:

(DESIDERED BEHAVIOUR)
By configuring 'portsentry' to monitor 80/tcp and starting the latest as 
possible, you'll get an
error message in the logfile and the process continues binding on other 
configured ports ports.

[snip]

(UNDESIDERED BEHAVIOUR)
by configuring 'portsentry' to monitor 80/tcp and starting before apache, will 
not let apache to
bind on port 80/tcp producing this message:

[snip]
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
[snip]


Please, feel free to reopen it if you have another perspective.

Cheers.
