4 +1. I had a server become inaccessible recently because I took down
5 one of the interfaces and it took sshd down with it. That's because
6 there's also a problematic interaction with rc_depend_strict, which
7 for "need net" means all the interfaces have to be up for services
8 with "need net" to be started. It seems to me that any service that
9 binds to all interfaces (like sshd, by default) should not "need net".
