Depending on the use case for ifstated, dependencies may exist with other daemons for performing interface checks and/or external tests. For example, one might use ifstated to check a dhcpd enabled interface, or connectivity to a vmd virtual machine.
Does anyone have any objections with delaying the start of ifstated? Comments? Ok?
