Hiya,
Take a look in /etc/conf.d/rc
------------------- # Set to "yes" if the default behaviour of at least one net.* # service starting beside net.lo is NOT enouth to consider # the 'net' dependency up and running.
RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="no" -------------------

I have a feeling I'm missing something very obvious here, but I'm still at a loss:
I have my laptop's ethernet set to use DHCP. Obviously, on the road this
will fail. But then the "net" service that postfix (and a bunch of other
stuff like sshd) depends on is not there. Of course I could edit the
init.d file, but there must be a cleaner solution, right? After all,
everybody on dialup-only systems has to have this problem.
I also haven't figured out *how* the "net" dependency is provided. The
postfix iniscript explicitely contains "provide mta", but very few
scripts use this provide keyword, especially not net.* On my previous SuSE system, if I went someplace networked with the
machine running already, I used to say "ifup-dhcp eth0", and I could mail
and ssh into the laptop without any further ado. I suppose I could do the
same with Gentoo's runlevels which I haven't explored yet, but it still
doesn't solve the problem that I can't have postfix running and queueing
messages I send while offline so they can be delivered once I plug in
somewhere.
