Comment 1 Dave Thomas 2002-08-30 14:28:26 UTC
okay, let's actually have some comments here. :)

In using syslog-ng, it is possible to define tcp/udp network sources for 
logging information.  This means that net.whatever needs to be init'd before 
syslog-ng.

"need clock" should be "need clock net"
Comment 2 Donny Davies (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-08-30 18:26:20 UTC
nope, wrong.  it does not *NEED* net.

it may be desirable for *YOU*, in *YOUR* situation, to add
depend() {
  need clock
  after net
}

or just use the way you suggested above.  either way,
this is specific to *YOUR* configuration.  

the default is fine.
