That's fine Alice (and I remember your issue well with the minimally
documented change to stable-privacy by default for new systems ...
argh I still need to write up a blog article about that) but in this
case the person concerned isn't even using the network service, which
if legacy and semi-deprecated is still supported, but just doing a
ridiculous and unsupportable mini script (I'm guessing from rc.local?)
which doesn't handle pretty much any actual networking issue that may
come up - eg failed/delayed interface.
