Description Nik Conwell 2025-01-15 16:18:13 UTC

Description of problem:

knock-server knockd.service attempts to start before the network is up


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

0.8.1.el8


How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure /etc/knockd.conf with interface = enp0s31f6
2. Restart system
3.

Actual results:

[date] [system] knockd[980]: could not open enp0s31f6: enp0s31f6: That device is not up


Expected results:

knockd should start

Additional info:

The knockd.service systemctl file has:

After=network.target

But I think it should have:

After=network-online.target

to make sure that the network interface is fully up and available.


Thanks.
