But still - do you know why it is necessary? cannot i just add BEFORE: samba in vboxheadless? I had a similar problem about two years ago. One program required program X to load prior to it while program Y wanted to load it after it. It was causing a conflict. It is slightly difficult to explain in a few words. I had to manually check every file in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory to straighten it out. I believe that there is a way to have all of that information displayed without going through that much intervention; however, I do not remember how to do it at the moment. Anyway, in the samba file, it has this notation: # PROVIDE: nmbd smbd I don't know if that makes any difference or not. I have never had to move the starting order of samba around. I do know that in other applications, they appear to have their name in the PROVIDE line. For example, from the Postfix script: # PROVIDE: postfix mail -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

Create a new file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/precedence with the following
contents:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Persuade vboxheadless to start before samba.
# PROVIDE: precedence
# REQUIRE: vboxheadless
# BEFORE: samba
:
Make it executable. Note -- the ':' does seem to be necessary.
thank you for help. I will test it when being on place and could
reboot.
But still - do you know why it is necessary?
An explanation written some 80 years ago;
'Because that way it will work'.
