The only last thing I could suggest is running lsof to see what files are being accessed when you start the net.eth1 script.
I tried lsof, but is there a possibility to run it constantly or for a specified time to catch the complete progress of the script, like the top command to monitor all files which are used by this process. As far as i can see lsof list only the current processes and the files used and then it stops.
a better option would be `emerge --noconfmem <package>`, which esentially re-does all your conf files.
I tried this also but i can't figure out which files could be responsible for this Additionally i tried this, running the init-script and then i applied this find command find / -mount -cmin -1 which lists all the files which status has changed the last minute, but there are no files which could be the reason for the changing if the tables. I don't know if this command does what i want. I think it lists the files which are altered and which are accessed. Am i right here? I used this find command for reinstalling shorewall and setting back the old settings too but without success. This gets a bit frustrating for me now i always have to reset my iptables manually after i start my internet connection. Is it possible that there is no real file causing this trouble? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
