I just can't see how a setup in which (systemctl status my_server) reports everything is fine and dandy when in fact the server is not able to accept a connection is correct, and especially "more robust" as it was claimed upthread. ... rereading the thread, the thing I have missed is that we don't want to block startup in configurations where the server binds to 127.0.0.1 because the system might never come online. So there appears to be no universally correct default for programs with flexible bind addresses :( Mirek -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
