30.6.3 Start-Up Scripts
Apart from the configuration files described above, there are also various scripts that
load the network programs while the machine is booting. These are started as soon as
the system is switched to one of the multiuser runlevels. Some of these scripts are de-
scribed in Table 30.9, "Some Start-Up Scripts for Network Programs"

This script handles the configuration of the network
interfaces. The hardware must already have been ini-
tialized by /etc/init.d/coldplug (via
hotplug). If the network service was not started,
no network interfaces are implemented when they are
inserted via hotplug.
Starts xinetd. xinetd can be used to make server ser-
vices available on the system. For example, it can
start vsftpd whenever an FTP connection is initiated.
Starts the portmapper needed for the RPC server, such
as an NFS server.
Starts the NFS server.
