Bug 942545 – net-misc/mrouted bad openrc service file.

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description lperkins 2024-10-30 15:53:18 UTC]

/etc/init.d/mrouted in the latest 4.5 ebuild seems to have some issues such that it fails to start.  It has invalid options for mrouted, and doesn't have the correct options for start-stop-daemon.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install mrouted and try to start it with rc-service.
Actual Results:  
It fails to start.

Expected Results:  
It should start.

I fiddled with it until I got it to work.  I don't know that this is necessarily the best configuration for it, but it actually runs, so it's a definite improvement.
