/etc/default controls variables for the /etc/init.d scripts. It looks like we're using /etc/default/cloud-passwd-srvr to override the 'ENABLED' variable in /etc/init.d/cloud-passwd-srvr.
So there are two switches controlling services, in cloud-early-config we echo whether or not the script should be enabled into /etc/default/<scriptname>, and then in patchsystemvm.sh we actually turn on the service to start at boot. The service will exit and fail to start if the /etc/default file is set to do such. The ENABLED=1 is there in /etc/defaults, so we just need that stanza in patchsystemvm.sh to setup a vpc router. > I noticed that while looking in the config files. > > Take a look at /etc/default/cloud-passwd-srvr > or in source at: > patches/systemvm/debian/config/etc/default/cloud-passwd-srvr > > Keep in mind /etc/default in debian controls start on boot. > > --David
