That is not a problem. The problem is, that the admin loses control over the runlevels. > if you dont like that, you're free to: >> I think, you will actually tell me to use "RC_PLUG_SERVICES" in >> /etc/conf.d/rc to disable hotplug triggered started of net.eth0. > >> But does it really solve everything? > > i disable hot/cold plugging completely myself i see, another sollution could be: instead of having tweo states per service and runlevel (enabled, disabled), gentoo could introduce a tristate-logic: services can be disabled, enabled or they can be set to auto. These states have the following meaning: disabled: the service does not start and will not be started by any hot/coldplugging enabled: the service is started on boot (and maybe not by hot/cludplugging) auto: the service started by hot/coldplugging things
