Done (r721). > You can probably drop the redundant dependency on $network (already a > dependency of $remote_fs) and replace $local_fs with $remote_fs as a > hard dependency.

To be exact, you could make it like this: > > # Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog > # Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog > # Should-Start: slapd > # Should-Stop: slapd There is no requirement on having slapd running when nslcd is stopped so I got rid of that one but other than that I've used the above. I've also added an X-Start-Before header which lists a couple of mail servers that provide the mail-transport-agent virtual package and some other stuff I could think of. Extracting all service names correctly was not easy though (some mail servers provide mail-transport-agent but not all). Is there some place where all init scripts are available (preferable with LSB header info and current sequence numbers)? Btw. I would like to add something like Provides: $named because nslcd can provide hostname resolution functions but I understand that the init script is not the right place for that, what is (haven't tried insserv yet)? Also having something better than X-Start-Before: whole list of daemons that may need nss functions would be welcome because nss-ldapd can't know about all daemons that may need NSS functions and the nslcd init script is not the right place to configure this in my opinion. (btw while digging around in init scripts I noticed cron and atd are started at a very high sequence but their dependency headers suggest they could be started sooner) For reference, the changes are: ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: nslcd -# Required-Start: $local_fs $syslog -# Required-Stop: $local_fs $syslog -# Should-Start: $remote_fs $network -# Should-Stop: $remote_fs +# Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog +# Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog +# Should-Start: slapd +# X-Start-Before: mail-transport-agent exim4 sendmail nullmailer masqmail citadel cron atd # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Short-Description: nss-ldapd connection daemon # Description: nslcd is a LDAP connection daemon that is used to # do LDAP queries for the NSS libraries. ### END INIT INFO -- -- arthur - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://people.debian.org/~adejong --
