On my test machine, nfs-common is started as rc2.d/S21nfs-common, and there is nothing in rcS.d/ needing portmap, as far as I can see. Mounting a remote NFS volume to not use RPC locally, as far as I know. Are you aware of any services started in rcS.d/ using a local portmap daemon? I have not seen any yet, and adjusted the dependency info accordingly. >> > Indeed, hotplug does. >> Hotplug didn't load any of these modules on the machines in question, >> even though it does have an IDE CD-ROM and a PS/2 mouse.

I tested with the 2.6 kernels on etch, and it did not seem to load IDE modules there either. I might be mistaken, as I do not know the name of all relevant modules. > Configure the interfaces to not be started with ifup -a, but when an > hotplug event is received. Right. I'll try to investigate that the next time I have time to do some testing. :) _______________________________________________ initscripts-ng-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/initscripts-ng-devel
