Thank you all for your suggestions. However, I still have no idea about what is starting my net.eth0:
- cd /etc/init.d grep "need net" * gives samba, slapd, slurpd, sshd, winbind none of which is started after boot. - cd /etc/init.d grep "use net" * gives cupsd, rsyncd which aren't started either. - pcmcia is not started - I don't see a line about starting eth0 in the startup sequence BUT... net.eth0 is started after boot. Moreover, if I stop net.eth0, no other service is stopped (I guess that if another service was depending on it, it would also stop, right?) It seems the workaround is to move the script out of the init.d directory. This does work, but I really would like to understand what is happening. I must be missing something, but I just cannot see what. If no service depending directly on net is started and net is not started manually, what could start it? Or could something depend on net whithout the "need" or "use" command? Or could it be that the status is reported unaccurately (I mean, reporting started even if it was never really started)? If you think this thread is going too far for a user list, please tell me what is the appropriate list... but I like to understand what is happening in my box and this is a reason why I choose gentoo.
