I think you've failed to grasp the point. What you are proposing is to hack the servers with patches that are rather unlikely to be accepted by either upstream, in order to solve *one* of the possible configuration issues that might cause them to not start correctly before the basic expected network support services are available. In particular, so far as I can tell from the discussion at bug #703215, systemd is entirely incapable of supporting services that need to do DNS lookups at start. It's not acceptable to tell people that they mustn't use configurations that require that; they'll just go looking for another solution that does do what they want. I grow weary of systemd apologists saying that services should be hacked to work around systemd's limitations. systemd exists to serve the daemons, not vice versa. If you can't fix these problems, people are going to decide that systemd is a failed experiment. regards, tom lane -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
