Yes, it goes back to a netcfg bug: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=148374 > I think it's better to not include a KillMode line (so the default > KillMode=control-group is used) because then systemd would clean processes > left > by "network stop" (should there be any)... I agree. Have you tested it without the KillMode line? In particular for netctl.service (network (re)store) the KillMode=none line is semantically correct. Nevertheless, I am in favor of dropping it if we don't need it. Regards, - Jouke
