Hello. I have bridge network device configured which consumes eth0 and eth1 devices. This is my main network device. All IP addresses and routings belong to it. It has address 192.168.0.48/24 My DNS server has address 192.168.0.200 Here's the problem. Some init scripts that depends on net fail to start because they don't have access to DNS server because they start before br0 device is up (it's set in default runlevel). These are: ntp-client, ntpd, nfs, nfsmount. Service distccd fails to start also, because I configured it to listen on IP address 192.168.0.48 which is not set up at the moment service tries to start. After system boots, I can start services manually with success. I didn't find any configuration option that says what network script should provide net service to init scrits or something. So probably they consider net.lo to be main network script. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Actual Results: Some services failed to start because of wrong order. They start after net.lo and net.eth{1,2} started which doensn't provide access to network. It's provided by net.br0 init script. Expected Results: The order should be right: net.br0 start first; all services depending on net should be started after it.

you probably didnt set RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING
(In reply to comment #1) > you probably didnt set RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING Yep. Thanks.
