I noticed that when booting Linux without an internet connection, app-admin/hddtemp won't start as it depends on net services. Althought HDDTemp can be used through network to catch the status of a hard drive in a remote server, users monitoring their own hard drive that want to use it will have to have an net service working. Also, somebody could want to use HDDTemp without using internet connection even if he have a working connection. Let's suppose that user want to use HDDTemp (which acctualy depends on started NET services) on a laptop in a place without internet connection. As he tries to start HDDTemp, HDDTemp will trigger NET services. Those will not work as he doesn't have/want an internet connection that moment and then HDDTemp fails to start. As is the /etc/init.d/hddtemp depend() { need localmount net } I would suggest to change this to only "need localmount". This way, users using HDDTemp without NET services started can start HDDTemp service. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge app-admin/hddtemp 2. Unplug network cable from your computer 3. Stop any net.* services that may be running 4. Try to start HDDTemp Actual Results: If net.* can't start (for a not working network card, not working internet connection or non-existant internet connection), HDDTemp fails to start. Expected Results: HDDTemp should started correctly, as it doesn't depends on internet connection, althought it can be used remotely.

Created attachment 240079 [details, diff] Patch that corrects this bug. Simply remove net from the dependencies of the service. Just made a patch to correct the problem. It simply removes the word "net" from the file, so HDDTemp service start even if it doesn't have a started NET service.
The hddtemp daemon requires some net interface to be up and running. For local monitoring, net.lo will suffice here. Have you considered setting RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="lo" in /etc/conf.d/rc instead of modifying the dependencies of hddtemp service?

I tried to use HDDTemp without net.lo and net.eth0 services started and it worked just fine. Didn't considerated to set RC_NET_STRICT_CHECK to "lo" at first place, I'll check it out also. But still HDDTemp works without any net.* service started, so it just doesn't seen to need net service at all to run.

It will _start_, but it won't actually work unless the lo interface is up. Try to run `nc 127.0.0.1 7634` after a normal boot with net.lo started (you should see info about the hdd temperatures), then down the lo interface (ifconfig lo down) and try again.

So it runs well if net.lo is up, but net.eth0 still is useless for a standalone machine. There wasn't a way to add only net.lo to dependency of hddtemp?

I have the same trouble on baselayout2+openrc, any advices?

I added some info messages about rc_depend_strict to the ebuild. Closing.
