Since few days back when i'm bringing down my system i'm getting those messages:

I have the same errors at shutdown. Appeared with the upgrade to openrc 0.11.5.

I can confirm. :evil:

I have not had enough time/will to investigate yet.
The only thing I believe is that the track to the culprit starts with /lib64/rc/net/clip.sh which is actually responsible for issuing the

Openrc is definitely acting up recently

I have had similar problems. Permissions on a number of subdirectories of /var/run now change on reboot and various daemons quietly fail (eg. sendmail - didn't get any email over the weekend until I discovered this).

Is there a plan to fix this?

Hi,
same problem here.
Somebody found a fix for it?

Greetings,

I'm also having this problem with app-misc/uptimed, net-irc/inspircd, sys-process/atop, games-server/minecraft-server::java-overlay, net-im/prosody, and there's probably more stuff that's silently broken and I haven't noticed yet. These are just the ones that show up as crashed in rc-status that I've had to hack into a working state manually.

The OpenRC devs really need the concept of don't &$%@ing break working systems beating into their heads with a heavy stone.

Sadly sys-apps/openrc-0.11.6 does not solve the issue

Just disable the 'atm' USE flag and unmerge the package 'linux-atm'.

With respect, I don't consider removing linux-atm to be the solution to this problem.

I keep net-dialup/ppp and net-dialup/linux-atm installed on my system as a fallback in case my wireless router dies: I could then configure PPP/ATM to use an old ADSL modem instead.

In the meantime I do not start PPP/ATM. However I too am now seeing these "atmarpd.pid" warnings.

As far as I can tell the problem is that OpenRC is now trying to stop a service which it did not start. If that is the case then this is a real bug in OpenRC.

Is there a solution for this annoying problem yet?

I had set the atm USE flag only for iproute2 package in /etc/portage/package.use and not globally in /etc/portage/make.conf. I had the same messages mentionned above when my net.wlo1 wireless script was shutting down. The atm USE flag is not activated by default. I remove it and the messages disappear. Of course, emerge --depclean remove the atmarpd daemon after that.

I think the messages come from the iproute2 utilities when they are execute with atm support. According to euse, it's the only other package than the ppp one who can use this USE flag.

Well its a IBM input, by input i mean its IBM contributing the technology to the open source community by looks of it.

I am not sure what advantage or use this technology benefits the end user.

M$ speak about its benefits here so maybe figuring out how it actually works and how IBM have programed it to be implamented etc then use it.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc740081%28v=ws.10%29.aspx

As far as surfing the web i dont think it will benefit much. If you are connecting to a network that can optimise this technology then it is well worth getting it working. Just seting it up without using it could result in security issues in my opinion even if they have not been discovered yet.

If i actually had the time i would dig into this protocol deeper and see what i can find that uses it but life is short so ill put it on backburner. Feel free to hack it if you wish though, dont let me put you off :-p

Either way the reason you get this error is because the relevant programs required for ATM are not running. If someone out there actually has ATM runing feel free to share the info, saves us having to hack it lol.
More googling on ATM setup on linux might be a good place to start in getting it working.

I may revisit this thread again in a while depends if i get board after work and fancy hacking it me self at which point ill let you all know how to get it working of course.

You never know upstream might refine the code so it all starts and works semless in the near futur without having to hack it. Some would say that takes the fun out of it all but hey :-)
