Whe I implemented nameif I was observeing exactly this behaviour.
Look at /etc/init.d/nameif
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting ${DESC}..."
$DAEMON -s -c ${TEMP_MACTAB}
$DAEMON -s
echo "$DESC done"
;;
You will see that there are 2 runs for the nameif applet, once with a
temporary mactab, once with the final mactab. There should also be 2
mactab files in the /etc directory, one mactab and one mactab.tmp
For some reason I don't understand I cannot see these mactab files in
the buildtool.cfg for initrd, so they might be missing in initrd.
For now just add them to your /etc directory and then include them in
local.local. We will have to look into git to straighten that out.
