[SOLVED] services depending on wrong network interface

[Hrk]

Hi,

I have a headless server with multiple network cards: eth0 (lan1), eth1 (lan2), eth2 (bridged to ppp0 for ADSL). The problem is that if ppp0 goes down, either manually or -and here lies the problem- if the ADSL line goes down, all the "net" requiring services go down: apache, dovecot, sshd.

You can see the problem by yourself. I don't understand (don't know where to look) why if only one interface goes down, all the services go down too. They should stay up, since there are other active interfaces.

Is this caused by a misconfiguration on my part? The network interfaces have all been added to the default runlevel, so they're all brought up at the same time.

I'm using openrc and baselayout-2, but I am 50% positive that this happened before I moved to baselayout-2 too (Yeah, 50% means "Maybe yes, maybe not").

Where should I look?

It's probably because you only have net.ppp0 in the default runlevel.
You need to either remove the net provision from net.ppp0 (rc_prrovide_net_ppp0="!net") or add other interfaces to the default runlevel.

Thank you for the answer. I've added the definition in rc.conf and I'll see what happens, but I want to stress that all the network interfaces are already in the default runlevel (all of them).

If I confirm that:
- all the interfaces are in the default runlevel
- there is no "rc_net_provide_xxx="!net"
- stopping one interface causes all the services to go down

should I reprot it as a bug in the tracker?

Ok, here it goes. :\ (different computer, this is a workstation with a more up-to-date openrc)

Current situation:

Ok, solved.

The behaviour depends on the value of the variable "rc_depend_strict" in /etc/rc.conf (I am using openrc-4.2). Setting it to "NO" provides the behaviour I was wishing for.
