Description jeff.kelly 2018-02-16 18:49:38 UTC
Description of problem:
EPEL packaged /usr/lib/systemd/system/nrpe.service does not wait for network to become online, can cause startup to fail when bind to address used in configuration.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nrpe-3.2.0-6.el7.x86_64

(Installed on RHEL 7.3)

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install to clean server
2. configure to bind to an address (primary IP of host was used)
3. restart service to ensure service starts without error (after configuration tweak)
4. reboot

Actual results:
Service errors on startup: unable to bind to device ...

Expected results:
Successful service startup

Additional info:
Possible solution could be to update packaged file nrpe.service:

added (might be overkill):
After=var-run.mount nss-lookup.target network.target local-fs.target time-sync.target 

Replaced line:
Requires=network.target
with:
Requires=network-online.target
