When you turned on wpa_supplicant with chkconfig, it creates symbolic
links in the various rc.d directories which begin with either S or K
(start or kill) and the numbers (priorities). Just changing the file
in /etc/init.d doesn't change these links. You have to use chkconfig
to turn them off or delete them, and then add them back again to get
the new links. *OR* you could change the file by hand, and then
change all of the links names to contain the new numbers by hand. One
is easier than the other. You decide which.
This is the content of rc3.d
...
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2008-07-10 21:56 S09wpa_supplicant ->
../init.d/wpa_supplicant
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2008-07-10 21:56 S10network -> ../init.d/network
...
which is correct. Exactly what I want.
I think this has been generated by "ntsysv" when I deselected and
reselected wpa_supplicant.
But the next time I do "yum update" for some reason wpa_supplicant will
go back to its original position.
It's like there are 2 ways of configuring those services and they might
not be synchronized.
I noticed when I upgraded to F9 (from FC6) that most of the support for
what used to be in /etc/inittab is no longer supported and a new
mechanism is in use. Its supposed to be more flexible, but it may not
have all of its bugs smoothed out yet with its interactions with
chkconfig. I may be grasping at straws here, but I'm looking for an
explanation for your problem. I haven't tried to do what you are doing
in a while (ie, the last time I tried, I was still running FC6).
I've noticed that in each file, after the info for chkconfig there is a
"new" section:
I hadn't noticed. I haven't looked recently, either.
for "network":
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: $network
# Should-Start: iptables ip6tables
### END INIT INFO
for "wpa_supplicant":
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: wpa_supplicant
# Required-Start: $local_fs messagebus
# Required-Stop: $local_fs messagebus
# Default-Start:
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: start and stop wpa_supplicant
# Description: wpa_supplicant is a tool for connecting to wireless networks
### END INIT INFO
I will try to add wpa_supplicant to "Required-Start" of the network.
By all means, let us know how it turns out!
