Comment 9 for bug 71468

Did anybody find any explanation or solution to this 2+ year old problem?

I do have this problem on Jaunty alpha 5 (completely updated as of today). As said above, moving ipmasq to S99 in rcx.d did not help. Adding a 'service ipmasq restart' in rc.local did the trick once, but only once...

Maybe that is related (or maybe not): I also see an unusual line at boot that says that sshd is restarted. That usually comes so late in the boot process that this message appears on the CLI login prompt. So, to make this clear, I have the normal message that says that sshd is started, and then the restart message later on. The one time where adding ipmasq in rc.local did the trick, that sshd restart message appeared much earlier. I do not really know what is the cause / consequence relation here, as I cannot figure out what is causing this sshd restart... Maybe what restarts sshd is also what makes the late ipmasq restart mandatory...

Anyways, I am using a Jaunty server alpha 5 installation. ipmasq, dnsmasq (used as DHCP server as well), hostapd are all started at boot. Of course network manager is not even installed on this box...
