lisa does not start because file /etc/lisarc is missing in 2004.1 Here is an example of /etc/lisarc from SuSE 9.0: # default configuration for local networks only # estimate the ip address from eth0 dynamic PingAddresses = auto-eth0/255.255.0.0; PingNames = AllowedAddresses = 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.0; # BroadcastNetwork = 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255; FirstWait = 30 SecondWait = -1 UpdatePeriod = 300 DeliverUnnamedHosts = 1 MaxPingsAtOnce = 64 SearchUsingNmblookup = 1 The startup script /etc/init.d/lisa reports a correct start although lisa exits without a the lisarc config file. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1./etc/init.d/lisa start 2.ps aux|grep lisa Actual Results: Just add /etc/lisarc to lisa installation and check the lisa start script for return values/exit codes.

This should be fixed upstream. Gentoo already includes a lisa ressource configuration (/etc/conf.d/lisa). The problem is that the init script does not specify it correctly (it should use 'lisa -q -c /etc/conf.d/lisa').
I don't remember when exactly this was fixed, but all kdenetwork ebuilds now create an empty /etc/lisarc. (I think there was another bug about this.)
