This morning I'm trying to unravel the non-clear chain of events involved in the init scripts. I'm getting lots of messy output from /etc/init.d/net.lo and looking at net.lo, I'm not able to see where all this stuff is being loaded. I'm taling about the contents of: `depend' for example.
There is a for loop that calls the function `depend' and when it runs I see the output below. More than half of this stuff isn't even installed far as I know. It is preventing most services from starting by way of the normal channels although they can be started without problems by hand and using the flags found in /etc/conf.d. Can anyone guess what is causing this? I did overwrite the old net.lo yesterday with the .cfg000 after an update but the diff showed no differences with previous one. I still have previous one and it isn't different. I tried a copy of net.lo that IS different from back in Nov sometime but it produces the same output. The trouble must be somewhere futher up. ====================================================== /etc/init.d/ntpd start * Caching service dependencies ...
