This is an old issue, but it's started to bug me again. On my home machine (used to be potato 2.2.19pre17, it's now woody 2.4.18), ipmasq and openafs-client don't start up correctly from /etc/init.d. The scripts are there, and appear to be linked correctly, but the following happens:
- With ipmasq, the script says "Initializing IP Masquerading..." but it doesn't happen - packets are not forwarded. However, if I run *exactly the same* command as the init.d script is theoretically running: /usr/sbin/ipmasq --rules /etc/ipmasq/rules it works fine. - With openAFS, if I start from the init.d script it hangs the computer - no error message, but no boot either. (I have to boot into single-user mode and delete the links in /etc/rc*d to break out.) But if I remove the links (so it doesn't start automatically) and then do, as root, /etc/init.d/openafs-client start again, it works fine. Does anyone have a suggestion? It's not a big deal (I only reboot about once a month, so running: ipmasq /etc/init.d/openafs-client start when I do so isn't such a problem) but it's irritating.
