I have a poet database server installed. it comes with a init script. running this init script from the bash "/etc/init.d/poetd start" works. adding it to the default runlevel "rc-update add poetd default" works aswell but it won't get executed on net startup.

you don't have a depend() section in it. Please see the rc-script guide on www.gentoo.org in the docs section.
in the docs: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=5#doc_chap4 I read: "Any init script requires the start() function to be defined. All other sections are optional." So now: Do I need this depend() section, yes or no?
try adding one
added depend() { need net } still doesn't get executed on boot
gentoo-ify that script and then we'll talk
fair enough. so, generally speaking no genuine redhat or suse init script works on gentoo out of the box but has to be converted, right?
