After installing inetmenu I discovered that ipfilter starts to early (before the interface was configured by inetmenu) and therefor fails . It automatically switched to online after inetmenu was done later in the boot process but there was an anoying error message about the failure of the ipfilter service at every reboot.
So I added an additional dependency of inetmenu to ipfilter. There were no error message while doing this. But after the next reboot neither inetmenu nor ipfilter started due to an dependency cycle. After removing the dependency for inetmenu from the ipfilter service both services worked again. To avoid this kind of error in the future I would like to check if there is an dependency cycle after changing the dependency of a service. Is this possible without rebooting? regards Bernd This message posted from opensolaris.org
