I'm still trying to determine exactly what is happening but the symptoms are as follows:
The startup of OpenPKG 2.5's /etc/init.d/openpkg on Centos 4.2 when starting in runlevel 3 (normal network) or 5 (graphical startup) just hangs. There is no output or error messages. Running /etc/init.d/openpkg start from a shell prompt takes a couple of seconds and when booting I gave up after a few minutes. The only solution I am seeing is to force a reboot, then boot in single user mode and add an exit 0 at the start of the script, go back to runlevel 5 and reintialise OpenPKG by hand. I've not seen anyone else on this list report this problem so it may be a local problem. I don't boot this box very often so it is not a real problem but I would like to determine what is happening. Perhaps there is a firewall/network issue that is causing a long timeout but if that were the case I would expect the same behaviour when running the script interactively. /var/log/messages and /var/log/maillog (I'm using OpenPKG for amavisd-new spamassassin and clamav with their output redirected to the system log files) don't show any clues. Any ideas as to what to look for?
