There are only fields for services which _must_ be started/available before X is started, fields for services which _must_ still be running when X is about to be stopped, and fields like the two mentioned before, just with _should_ instead of _must_ (more precisely: If they are installed, they must, but if they are not installed, that's no problem). What I miss there is a field for services which should _not_ be started before X is available (example: spampd should be started before postfix). The latter should be redundant in most cases, but might not be. cu, sven
