All, |

bugs like this one [1] are making me question the net/lo provides again, |
| 4 |
and I want to know what everyone thinks. |
| 5 |
|

First, do we need a provide for the loopback at all? I do not know of |
| 7 |
any scenario in which a linux or *bsd system will not have an active |
| 8 |
loopback interface. If we just make sure that the loopback interface |
| 9 |
comes up in the boot runlevel, we should be good right? |
| 10 |
|

The second question this bug brings up is whether services should "need" |
| 12 |
or "use" net. Remember that the "need" dependency will try to run the |
| 13 |
needed service even if it is in init.d but not in a runlevel. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
What are your thoughts on this? |
