I tend to agree. But rather than thinking that a packet that requires a running network ought to start another waiting service to get it to wait for the right moment. Ought to depend on *that* waiting service, rather than listen to the wrong service. There's any number of services on Fedora that should be waiting for a network is operational status, rather than a network is starting status. They should depend on a service that actually provides that information, not rely on something else to delay the wrong thing that they're listening to. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.13.9-200.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Oct 23 13:52:45 UTC 2017 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
