The definition of runlevel 2 is "multi user without networking" and always has been.
Every generic location I've seen runlevels described, this is true, but...
If networking and network services used to be started in runlevel 2, that was a bug. So was expecting it.
... I know that this has been a common "bug" for quite some time. I booted one machine, ran chkconfig --list | grep network (or equivalent), and found "on" in runlevels 2,3,5 in the following: openSUSE 10.3 Fedora 7 Knoppix 4.0.2 SuSE 9.3 Fedora 15 openSUSE 11.2 openSUSE 11.4 IIRC, Mandriva's been the same as long it's existed by that name. Full networking OTOH does need runlevel 3. Every check I've made of apache/nfs/nfsserver/rpcbind/portmap that I can recall has been on in 3,5 only. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
