Description Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-22 21:15:10 UTC
So basically my box stopped supporting SSH on boot. I'd have to take a keyboard
out to the living room and connect it and start ssh by hand. Looking through the
logs I saw that ssh was being killed by signal 15. So I noticed on boot it said
starting eth0.. starting netplug... backgrounding... the next thing was starting
sshd which failed. (the signal 15 error) and so I unmerged netplug and
everything worked magically fine.

Basically it looked like netscripts bring up the interface, then hand it over to
netplug... which cycles the interface down/up when it starts up. netscripts
basically should not bring up the interface, they should leave that to netplug
and then move on to the next item... but give netplug enough time to bring the
interface up.
