My reason for being against it, is that if you dont want |
| 29 |
it to be included in the 'net' dependancy (meaning, you |
| 30 |
dont want all services depending on 'net' to stop when |
| 31 |
stopping it), is that why must it be part of the boot/default |
| 32 |
runlevel if services dont depend on it ? |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
A service like that usually gets started after boot, like |
| 35 |
ppp. Most users that use ppp and want to stop if freely all |
| 36 |
the time, do not have a perm/free connection. And anyhow, |
| 37 |
if something does depend on net.ppp0, add net.ppp0 to its |
| 38 |
'need' line, then net.ppp0 will still be started at boot, |
| 39 |
but only this service will stop when net.ppp0 is stopped. |
