Description Marius Dinu 2022-08-10 17:43:51 UTC

Hello.

There is an example given in /etc/rc.conf for the usage of rc_depend_strict. In this example, if a service depends on "net" and rc_depend_strict is set to "NO", then any one of the network interfaces in "up" state will satisfy the dependency.

net-online does not respect this setting. All interfaces must be up in order for this service to do the ping test and report success or failure. If any one of them is down, it will timeout and report failure without doing the ping test.

Thanks.
