Bug 82984 – /etc/init.d/atftp causes net.eth0 to fail when added to default runlevel

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Eduardo Costa Lisboa 2005-02-22 12:14:17 UTC]

Ok, that's what happens:
When I do
#> rc-updade add atftp default
the script /etc/init.d/net.eth0 fails to start on the next boot, but works if I rerun it manually, after logging in. Consequently, every network service, like dhcp, fails too.

But if I just rename the atftp script to another name, like in.tftp (the default script name of netkit-tftp), and do
#> rc-update add in.tftp default
it works perfectly!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. type:
#> emerge atftp
#> rc-update add atftp default
#> reboot
And wait for net.eth0 to fail on the next boot

Now, to solve, do the following steps:
#> rc-update del atftp default
#> mv /etc/init.d/atftp /etc/init.d/in.tftp
#> rc-update add in.tftp default
#> reboot
And check that the system will start perfectly
Actual Results:  
The script net.eth0 fails to bring up the interface

Expected Results:  
The script net.eth0 should not fail in any case

1. I set values for both variables TFTPD_ROOT and TFTPD_OPTS inside the script,
between the first mandatory runscript line and the first mentioned function,
depend()

2. I was using DHCP configuration and an alias in /etc/conf.d/net for eth0. I
did not try with static IP configuration or with no interface aliases

3. I had an installed and configured, working net-misc/dhcp server package

you neglected to provide `emerge info` like the bug report page said to
