I believe services that don't bind to a specific address should probably only depend on net.lo, not net. So then we separate this that really need the network (and probably only a specific interface and then the user should modify the script to depend on that interface) and those that use the network, but don't really need it (like sshd, etc). That said, I now use networkmanager (to be able to easily select wifi networks), I don't know how integrated into the whole baselayout-2. -- Olivier Crête [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gentoo Developer
