It's somewhat ambiguous whether the provides line should be the class
or the instance. I'd probably supply the class if the implementation
is largely conformant to the standard. You might even consider
supplying both. That way a dependent item could choose whether it
trusts the generic match or if it prefers to match against the more
specific case. However, it might be moot if no other startup items
are likely to depend on this one.
Lastly, StartupItems are on their way out, and unless you're seeking
compatibility with pre-Tiger (10.4) systems, you'd be better off
using a launchd plist.

Hi,
I am writing a startup item for an application called Miredo, and
have the following
for my StartUpParameters.plist:
{
Description = "miredo client";
Provides = ("teredo");
Requires = ("ethertap","tun");
OrderPreference = "None";
}
Does this look right? Should the provides be referring to the
program name or the
'technology' being implemented. What I mean by this, is that Miredo
is an implementation
of Teredo, so should I indicate provides 'teredo' or 'miredo'?
